Deployment overview

Supported deployment modes and what changes between them.

IntelFactor supports three deployment modes. The inspection loop always runs locally.

Mode A: Fully local (recommended baseline)

Use the full three-zone design.

• Production Zone (OT): cameras + edge nodes + local evidence.

• Site Data Zone: on-prem dashboards, object storage, registries.

• Remote Access Zone (optional): jump host / VPN for support.

This mode requires no outbound internet to inspect.

Mode B: Hybrid (local inspection + optional cloud visibility)

Use Mode A locally. Add a cloud layer for fleet visibility.

• Local inspection and evidence capture are unchanged.

• Site-to-cloud sync is async.

• Connectivity loss only delays centralized reporting.

Mode C: Cloud-hosted business apps + on-prem OT boundary

Use cloud hosting for non-OT systems.

• Marketing site and business apps can live in cloud.

• OT inspection network stays segmented.

• Only approved exports traverse the conduit.
