Questions & Answers

  • Why should we choose your FL framework over other options?

    Our framework offers an easy-to-use interface, visual aids, and collaboration tools for ML/FL projects, with features like distributed tracing and event logging for debugging and performance analysis. It ensures security through client identity management and authentication, and has scalable architecture with multiple servers and load-balancers. FEDn also allows flexible experimentation, session management, and deployment on any cloud or on-premises infrastructure.

  • Is this yet another ML platform we have to install?

    FEDn is a versatile framework that can be extended, configured, and integrated into existing systems to tailored to your environment. For effective Federated Learning (FL) management, deployment of server-side components and charts is necessary. It enhances rather than replaces your current setup.

  • What deployment options does FEDn offer?

    FEDn offers two main deployment options to cater to different organizational needs and project stages. The fully-managed SaaS (Software as a Service) model simplifies access to federated learning technology, making it ideal for early-stage projects, pilots, and proof-of-value phases. For organizations with strict cybersecurity requirements, FEDn can be deployed on private clouds or on-premise, providing full control over deployment, security, and privacy. This self-managed option is particularly suitable for advanced security needs, such as protecting IP-sensitive ML models.

  • Can we build our own IP using your framework?

    Absolutely. You can develop your own IP without any conflict. Utilize our framework and Scaleout’s expertise to accelerate your project. There's no risk of lock-in, as our Software Development Kit (SDK) for integration is licensed under Apache2. We're confident you'll find value in our support services, warranty, indemnification, and comprehensive toolkit.

  • How can I explore FL without deep technical expertise?

    We offer a cloud-hosted FL platform for easy FL exploration, optimized for cost and ideal for R&D. Scaleout enables data scientists to investigate FL without initial IT/DevOps resources. We provide a smooth transition to self-hosted production with enterprise integrations, ensuring your PoC is scalable, secure, and representative of real-world scenarios.

  • What capabilities does FEDn offer to support my organization's federated learning needs?

    FEDn supports a range of capabilities to meet diverse organizational demands. It offers both multi-tenant and single-tenant options, allowing organizations to choose the configuration that best suits their needs. Additionally, FEDn takes care of complex operations management, including server aggregation, data storage, user authentication, network configuration, and system monitoring. This reduces the operational burden on users, enabling them to focus on developing and refining their federated learning.
