# Deploying the partner appliance

Run the AI appliance on your own hardware: enrollment, connectivity, and requirements.

## In brief

- **You provide:** The hardware
- **Platform provides:** Software, updates, fleet connectivity

The partner appliance is an early-access deployment model for AI inference on hardware you own and operate. Enrollment and private management connectivity are planned; self-service deployment has not been validated for general use. Arrange a reviewed operator-assisted deployment before relying on this path.
