Deployment Models: On-Prem, Cloud & Hybrid

1. Deployment Models: On-Prem, Cloud & Hybrid

SITE SHIELD is designed to operate across diverse IT, security, and regulatory environments. To meet these needs, the platform supports three flexible deployment models—On-Premise, Cloud, and Hybrid—allowing organizations to choose the approach that best aligns with their data security, latency, scalability, and compliance requirements.

2. Why Deployment Flexibility Matters

Safety and surveillance systems often operate in environments with strict constraints, such as:

• Data residency and security regulations

• Limited or unreliable network connectivity

• Real-time response requirements

• Large-scale, distributed camera networks

A single deployment model cannot address all scenarios. SITE SHIELD’s flexible architecture ensures the platform can be adapted without compromising performance or compliance.

3. On-Premise Deployment

In an On-Premise deployment, SITE SHIELD is installed within the organization’s local infrastructure.

Key characteristics:

• AI processing and storage remain on-site

• Full control over data and infrastructure

• Suitable for high-security or regulated environments

Typical use cases:

• Critical infrastructure and defense facilities

• Airports and transport hubs with strict data policies

• Industrial plants with isolated networks

Advantages:

• Maximum data security and sovereignty

• Low latency for real-time analytics

• Independence from external cloud services

4. Cloud Deployment

In a Cloud deployment, SITE SHIELD runs on centralized cloud infrastructure, enabling remote access and scalability.

Key characteristics:

• Centralized AI processing and data storage

• Web-based dashboards accessible from anywhere

• Rapid scalability across multiple sites

Typical use cases:

• Multi-site enterprises and distributed operations

• Organizations seeking lower upfront infrastructure costs

• Centralized safety and compliance monitoring

Advantages:

• Faster deployment and easier maintenance

• Elastic scaling for cameras and analytics

• Centralized monitoring and reporting

5. Hybrid Deployment

A Hybrid deployment combines the strengths of both on-premise and cloud models.

Key characteristics:

• AI processing at the edge or on-premise

• Centralized dashboards and analytics in the cloud

• Selective data synchronization based on policy

Typical use cases:

• Large enterprises with mixed security requirements

• Railways, ports, and airports with distributed sites

• Environments requiring both low latency and central oversight

Advantages:

• Balanced security and scalability

• Reduced bandwidth usage

• Centralized intelligence with local autonomy

6. Edge AI in SITE SHIELD Deployments

SITE SHIELD supports edge AI processing across all deployment models.

Edge capabilities include:

• Real-time analytics close to the camera

• Reduced network dependency

• Faster response for safety-critical events

Edge processing is especially valuable in remote or high-risk environments where latency and reliability are critical.

7. Choosing the Right Deployment Model

Selecting the right deployment model depends on several factors:

• Regulatory and data privacy requirements

• Network availability and reliability

• Scale of camera deployment

• Need for centralized monitoring

• IT and infrastructure capabilities

SITE SHIELD allows organizations to start with one model and evolve to another as requirements change.

8. Security & Compliance Considerations

Across all deployment models, SITE SHIELD maintains:

• Role-based access control

• Encrypted data transmission

• Secure audit logs and evidence storage

• Compliance-ready reporting

This ensures consistent security and governance, regardless of where the system is deployed.

9. Scalability & Future Readiness

SITE SHIELD’s deployment architecture is built for growth:

• Supports incremental camera additions

• Enables multi-location expansion

• Allows integration with enterprise and command-center systems

Organizations can scale their safety and compliance monitoring without redesigning the system.

10. Summary

Deployment Models in SITE SHIELD—On-Premise, Cloud, and Hybrid— provide organizations with the flexibility to:

• Meet security and regulatory requirements

• Achieve low-latency, real-time analytics

• Scale across sites and industries

• Centralize intelligence while maintaining control

By supporting multiple deployment models, SITE SHIELD ensures that AI-driven safety and compliance monitoring fits seamlessly into existing operational and IT ecosystems.
