Apture allows deploying the use cases as per the flexibility of a business based on their requirement and capabilities. For executing model inferences on the Apture platform, the platform manager will need to connect an inference device to the platform’s interface in order to run the models. These inference devices can be the cloud, on premise servers or certain edge devices. Apture supports deployment with all these three options. 

Why do we need to deploy use cases?

ML models when built require deploying them so that they can be used by the users. Hence, it needs to be put in some place where it can be easily accessed by the people who need it.  

Deployment usually requires trained ML models and building an API or a UI for the users to interact with these models. A business has to set up a deployment strategy that works the best for them.  

Apture takes care of all of these. 

What does it mean by deploying on cloud or on edge?

Cloud deployment means that the models will run on a remote server of our or the user’s choosing. It is the default method of how most of the SAAS applications run. Based on the service provider and the number of computing resources being used, the cost will vary for cloud deployment. 

With edge deployment, the models are deployed very close to where the business operates. Usually, edge AI solutions are deployed right on the business premises or very close to where the data is captured. The reliability and the latency of the response from such devices is much higher.

On Edge Deployment

With Edge AI deployment, it is possible to deploy AI models at the edge of the process i.e., just where the data gets collected. There are a number of edge devices such as OAKD cameras or other AI cameras available currently that can run ML processes such as inference on themselves. Such edge cameras can be connected to the Apture platform seamlessly and can work with cloud as well as on-premise servers for processing, reporting, or analysis purposes. 

Improved Safety & Reliance

With a total control of your data and processing equipment, Apture allows better control and an improved safety for your entire system.

Data Security & Privacy

Keeping the data within the premises helps with achieving better security of the data and privacy of the of the subjects in the data.

More Hardware Flexibility & Seamless Integration

Upgrading or downgrading the hardware becomes easier as per the business need and a better integration with other systems can be achieved using Apture.

On Site Deployment for faster inference

With on premise availability of the processing machines, the latency for inference is reduced helping businesses achieve quicker inference and better reliability from their AI solutions.

On Premise Deployment

For on premise deployment using Apture, normal computing devices or specialized ML hardware can be installed for businesses to help deploy their computer vision use cases locally, with improved speed and reliability. With on premise deployment, data security and the privacy of the subjects within the scene are also better handled as the data never leaves the premises. But, with on premise there can be certain scalability issues with storage or the processing that the user must keep in mind. 

On Premise or On Cloud?

Reliability/Latency

Considering the reliability and the response of the system, a bad network connection might slow down cloud-based AI inferences. On the other hand, on prem deployment will not have any latency or reliability issues.

Network

With cloud deployment it will also be necessary that strong communication is constantly established between the business premises and the cloud server. Also, based on the location of the cameras in an on prem set up, proper network communication is a issue of concern.

Power

Based on the number of processes being run, both on prem solutions and the cloud solutions will require larger power usage. With on prem, the system will become very power-hungry as the ML processes increase with time which would further increase the cost.

Storage

Although there are some benefits to storing data on-site, the storage requirements and the costs that come with it must also be considered.

Cost

The cost of the deployment will vary for both deployment strategies. For on prem deployment, with the requirement for specialized hardware, the cost will automatically go up. But that doesn't mean that cloud will be cheaper, as the cost for the cloud will also increase based on the number of active processes.

Data Privacy

Data Privacy and security are well-preserved with an on prem deployment as the data remains on-site and secure. This doesn't mean that the data stored in the cloud could be breached easily but on prem servers offers complete privacy and ownership of the data.
