Self-Managed Hardware Requirements
LILT can be installed on custom hardware, whether in a private data center or on a variety of cloud platforms. The tables below provide approximate monthly cost estimates for running the base LILT system V4 models in a cloud environment.
Where applicable, long-term pricing discounts for cloud vendors is considered. However, resources (especially storage) may need to be increased to suit your needs. These costs are not a guarantee, rather a reflection of the cloud platform vendor's prices at the time of lookup.
Network, bandwidth, security group, permission management, and other platform costs are not considered in the attached estimate.
