# Customer-Managed Tenant

1 min read

A customer-managed tenant is a separate, isolated, regulated and governed deployment of our product within our **clients** perimeter.

Clients that opt for this approach provide their own landing-zone that they can reach e.g. with `https://unique.the-customer.com`. It can also be, that the customer does not expose :q: to the Internet and thus there would be no such URL but more like `https://unique.local` (symbolic).

There exist many variants of this model depending mostly on the distribution of the responsibilities between the client and Unique.

## Phases

When preparing, setting up and running a customer managed tenant, Unique identifies three main phases that are each documented in [Phases](https://docs.unique.ai/it-operators/installing-and-upgrading-unique/install-unique/customer-managed-tenant/phases).

## Architecture

Regarding the **application architecture** itself, please refer to Security Architecture - Single-tenant Chat.
