Smartflow Architecture Diagrams

Clear visual guides showing exactly where Smartflow sits in your AI infrastructure — from a single on-premise node to global multi-cloud enterprise orchestration.

Where Does Smartflow Sit?

Smartflow acts as an intelligent gateway between your applications and all AI/LLM providers.
It transparently intercepts, optimises, governs, and routes AI traffic — reducing costs 60–80%
while providing complete visibility, policy enforcement, and compliance across your entire AI ecosystem.

Scenario 1
On-Premise Deployment
Single Smartflow instance in your data center routing all AI traffic to multiple cloud LLM providers.
  • Corporate network deployment
  • Simple DNS/proxy redirect — no code changes
  • All apps route through Smartflow
  • Multiple cloud LLM providers
  • Complete traffic visibility

Scenario 2
Hybrid Cloud & On-Prem
Linked Smartflow instances (on-prem + cloud) with unified policy management and real-time governance sync.
  • Two linked Smartflow instances
  • Single pane of glass management
  • Real-time policy sync
  • Covers on-prem + cloud apps
  • VPN remote access redirect

Scenario 3
Full Cloud with Orchestrators
Apps inside orchestration layer (Glean, LangChain, etc.). Smartflow enhances without replacing your frameworks.
  • Apps inside orchestrator bubble
  • Symbiotic integration — bidirectional
  • Reports back to framework dashboards
  • Existing orchestrator layer intact
  • 60–80% cost reduction

Scenario 4
Policy-Based Hybrid Routing
Intelligent routing between local and cloud LLMs in the same app based on policy, cost, and performance.
  • Dynamic local vs. cloud routing
  • Policy & cost-based decisions
  • Simple queries → local models ($0/token)
  • Complex queries → cloud LLMs
  • 70–90% cost reduction

Scenario 5
Enterprise-Wide Orchestration
Multiple Smartflow instances across clouds and data centers unified under a single pane of glass management. Multi-cloud, multi-datacenter, universal policy and caching.
  • AWS, Azure, GCP + on-premise data centers
  • Single control plane for all instances
  • Universal policy — create once, enforce everywhere
  • Coming Soon: Shared cross-instance cache layer
  • Coming Soon: Edge agents for endpoints
