Most buyers pick a plan fast. Deployment takes longer, and it's the constraint that ends projects late, so settle it in the first conversation. The same SDK works in all four modes below. What changes is where compute runs and where your data sits.
| Mode | Where compute runs | Does data leave the site | Typical driver |
|---|---|---|---|
| MultiSet Cloud | MultiSet managed | Yes | Fastest start, lowest operational burden |
| Private cloud / VPC | Your own cloud tenant | Stays within your cloud account | Data residency and procurement policy |
| On-premise | Your own servers | No, it stays on your network | Air-gapped sites and strict security policy |
| On-device | The device itself | No | Offline operation, privacy-strict sites, lowest latency |
