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. Are you interested in installing LILT’s self-managed solution?
