Deployment Options
Your infrastructure, your rules. Equiforte deploys the way your compliance team requires.
Choose Your Deployment Model
Multi-Tenant Cloud
Hosted on Equiforte's AWS infrastructure with logical tenant isolation. Shared infrastructure delivers the fastest time to value with automatic updates, zero maintenance burden, and the lowest total cost of ownership. Ideal for emerging managers and mid-market firms that want enterprise-grade capabilities without infrastructure overhead.
Setup: 1-2 weeks | Best for: Funds under $500M AUM
Single-Tenant Cloud
A dedicated AWS account provisioned exclusively for your firm. Separate database, compute, and storage ensure complete data isolation. You get the scalability and managed operations of the cloud with the isolation of a private deployment. Custom network configurations, dedicated IP ranges, and private endpoints are standard.
Setup: 4-6 weeks | Best for: Funds $500M-$5B AUM
On-Premise
Equiforte runs entirely within your data center or private cloud. Full control over hardware, networking, and data locality. Our engineering team works alongside your infrastructure team for deployment, with ongoing support via secure remote access. Meets the most stringent regulatory and data sovereignty requirements.
Setup: 8-12 weeks | Best for: Funds over $5B AUM, sovereign wealth funds
Hybrid
Combine cloud and on-premise components based on data sensitivity. Keep investor PII and financial data on-premise while leveraging cloud compute for AI model inference and analytics. Secure API bridges connect the environments with end-to-end encryption and no persistent data storage in the cloud layer.
Setup: 10-16 weeks | Best for: Firms with mixed regulatory requirements
