Deployment Models

Any posture. One platform.

Turbine operates across four deployment postures. Release tracks, policy enforcement, and the evidence ledger behave identically at every tier — the posture changes, the guarantees do not.

01 — MANAGED CLOUD

Turbine-operated infrastructure

Isolated environments on infrastructure operated by Turbine. Provisioned in under sixty seconds. Releases arrive on the stable track after fleet-wide validation.

  • One dedicated environment per business — compute, data, and runtime
  • Continuous managed releases with automatic reversion
  • Standard evidence ledger and governance controls
  • The default posture for new deployments
02 — DEDICATED

Single-tenant hardware

A single-tenant deployment on dedicated hardware. Inference runs locally; data and tokens do not leave the environment. For organizations with sovereignty requirements.

  • Dedicated host, dedicated models, dedicated data plane
  • Local inference with explicit, logged escalation
  • Releases follow the stable track after fleet soak
  • Hardware provisioned on contract execution
03 — EDGE

Point of operation

Managed environments at the point of operation — screens, terminals, sensors, and kiosks. Devices enroll once and are managed for life.

  • Pull-based agents; no inbound connectivity to devices
  • Disconnection-tolerant; offline is a state, not an alarm
  • State reconciled on reconnect
  • Assigned release tracks per device class
04 — ON-PREMISES

Customer-controlled networks

Turbine operated within customer-controlled networks. Agents connect outbound only; no inbound access is required at any time.

  • Egress-only connectivity to a single allowlisted domain
  • No vendor-held credentials inside the network
  • Full platform semantics: tracks, gates, ledger
  • Available for qualified deployments

Select a posture. Deploy once.

Turbine onboards a limited number of organizations each quarter. Selection favors operations prepared to run under agents.
