01
Deployment Architecture
Customer-owned on-premises environments, private servers, public cloud, and hybrid architectures are evaluated against the business requirements instead of a single vendor preference.
INFRASTRUCTURE & DATA OPERATIONS
Run the system where the business requires.
VOC can operate approved systems on customer-owned, on-premises infrastructure, on VOC-managed infrastructure, in Amazon Web Services (AWS), in Microsoft Azure, or across a hybrid architecture. The deployment model follows privacy, performance, integration, support, recovery, and cost requirements.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
01
Customer-owned, on-premises options
02
Capacity and hardware planned from real demand
03
Access, backup, and recovery documented
WHAT VOC MANAGES
The complete service layer.
The exact scope is documented during discovery. These are the responsibilities that can be combined into one managed operating model.
02
Data & APIs
Schemas, migrations, permissions, retention, backups, application endpoints, integrations, and operational reporting are managed across the lifecycle.
03
Identity & Access
Accounts, roles, passkeys, protected areas, approvals, recovery paths, and administrative responsibilities are designed into the system.
04
Capacity & Hardware
Users, storage, model size, AI processing, concurrency, GPU or CPU memory, uptime, network, power, cooling, monitoring, and recovery needs are translated into realistic infrastructure requirements.
05
Security & Continuity
Updates, alerts, backups, restore plans, change records, dependencies, rollback context, and incident responsibilities are documented.
06
Private LLM Runtimes
LM Studio and Ollama can support local evaluation, pilots, and smaller managed deployments. vLLM is considered when a dedicated GPU server needs a higher-throughput, API-oriented serving layer. The final choice follows hardware, model licensing, concurrency, privacy, uptime, and support requirements.
MANAGED DELIVERY
The customer’s direction determines the deployment.
Discovery gathers the customer’s desired outcome, data rules, privacy needs, performance expectations, hardware ownership, budget, support model, and recovery requirements. Because VOC is not tied to one runtime, vendor, or deployment model, we can recommend an appropriate path for most common operating situations. Devices, networks, identity, backups, hardware limits, provider dependencies, and recovery responsibilities are assigned before they become the weak link.

Gather the customer’s direction
Clarify the desired outcome, data sensitivity, ownership, integration, processing, storage, availability, support, budget, and physical constraints.
Document the architecture
Choose providers and equipment, map dependencies, define access, estimate cost, and establish recovery paths.
Operate the environment
Monitor capacity, maintain systems, manage changes, test backups, review access, and plan upgrades before demand becomes a failure.
