Deployment Options¶

There are two deployment options for 3LC. Regardless of which you choose, your ML data never leaves your infrastructure.

For most cases, we recommend the Default deployment. It uses services hosted by 3LC Inc. to manage user accounts and workspaces, and 3LC usage is authenticated using a 3LC workspace API key. The 3LC Dashboard Service - which provides the static web resources (HTML and JavaScript) for the Dashboard to render the UI in the browser - is also hosted by 3LC, with the latest version at https://dashboard.3lc.ai.

The Enterprise On-Prem deployment can be used for running 3LC in isolated environments with restricted access to the public internet. There are no user accounts or workspaces, and 3LC usage is authenticated using a coarser license key. The 3LC Dashboard Service is hosted internally in the enterprise infrastructure, and maintenance is necessary to update as new versions are released.
