TLDR

We're excited to announce that Vellum now supports Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) installations, allowing enterprises to deploy our AI development platform within their own cloud environment (AWS, Azure and GCP). With VPC deployments, all sensitive data stays in your infrastructure, supported by our partnership with Replicated for seamless updates and remote debugging.

As a development platform that enables companies to build AI systems on Large Language Models, we knew we were working with sensitive data. The sensitive data could range from PHI in the context of healthcare companies to personal financial information in the context of banks & insurance companies. We’ve designed the product from Day 1 with enterprise grade security in mind and have had SOC 2 Type II certification & HIPAA compliance for some time now. However, we kept hearing requests for more:

• “Our company’s data shouldn’t leave our four walls”
• “We need better alignment with our security policies to meet industry best practices”
• “We would like to find more ways to use our pre-committed cloud computing spend”

Today we’re excited to announce support for Virtual Private Cloud installations of our software in our customer’s cloud environments. For enterprises operating in regulated industries or looking to keep their data secure, a VPC deployment of Vellum is available on all major cloud providers: AWS, Azure & GCP.

Vellum’s Virtual Private Cloud installation provides you complete control over your data. If you use Language Models hosted in your private cloud, you can also leverage our platform tooling in a way that allows all testing & production data to remain private and secure.

We’ve partnered with Replicated to allow you to easily self-host Vellum in your VPC and keep it up to date without our team needing any access to your infrastructure. Data and compute live on your cloud, and compute usage can be charged against any credits offered by cloud providers. We leverage support bundles from Replicated to provide application updates & debug issues remotely.

When it comes to choosing between Vellum VPC and Vellum Managed, the decision often hinges on your company’s specific needs around data residency, compliance, and security. Vellum VPC is designed for organizations that operate in highly regulated environments or have stringent internal policies that require complete control over their data infrastructure. It provides a dedicated environment within your own virtual private cloud, giving you full visibility and control over your data and workflows.

On the other hand, Vellum Managed is ideal for companies looking for a more hands-off approach. It offers the convenience of a fully managed service, where Vellum takes care of all the operational aspects, including scaling, security updates, and maintenance. This option is perfect for teams that want to focus on building and deploying AI solutions without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.
