# Helix Turn a .vio system definition into a supported deployment. Helix reads the .vio composition, checks the evidence required by policy, resolves supported dependencies, and prepares the system for a specific supported target. The system keeps its identity while the target-specific deployment is generated from it. [Join the waitlist →](/contact) .vio contract Signed, versioned, human-readable HELIX ENGINE Verify.

THE PROBLEM Deployment scripts are inconsistent. Ad hoc scripts and manual steps lead to snowflakes and failures. Local-to-prod drift is the norm. Different environments and configs create unpredictable behavior. Unsigned bundles can't be trusted. No proven identity or integrity of assets or behaviors. Framework-specific pipelines lock you in. Tied to one stack or vendor, hard to adapt or move. Poor auditability and visibility. Hard to prove what was deployed, where, and when. THE HELIX SOLUTION Verifies signatures before anything ships. Cryptographically validates every contract and asset. Transforms one contract into a runnable deployment. Environment-aware transformations produce consistent outputs. Reproducible build pipeline. Deterministic builds from the same contract, every time. Explicit framework adapters. Uses implemented and tested adapters for supported stacks. Controlled rollout to target infrastructure. Deploy with confidence. Track, trace, and attest every release. ## Deployment target status Local Run Helix on your machine for dev, test, and offline environments. See support matrix Viorant Cloud Deploy to Viorant's infrastructure with managed reliability and security. Managed option STATUS REQUIRES CONFIRMATION Cloud targets Use cloud targets named in the current support matrix. Verify current status On-prem Availability depends on a documented supported target. Verify current status Edge Availability depends on a documented supported target. Verify current status Customer-controlled Use only implemented and tested target adapters. Verify current status HOW HELIX WORKS ## From a .vio file to a running system. 1 Verify the .vio contract and signatures Helix verifies signatures, checks integrity, and validates contract compatibility. → 2 Resolve dependencies and transform assets Dependencies are resolved, models and assets are optimized and transformed for the target environment. → 3 Build the runtime package Helix builds a reproducible runtime package with configs, policies, and execution artifacts. → 4 Deploy to infrastructure and operate with confidence Helix deploys your system to the selected infrastructure and ensures it's running securely, observably, and reliably. Helix is the deployer. It reads the .vio system definition and prepares target-specific output for the explicitly supported target selected for the release. HOW HELIX FITS AI DEPLOYMENT INFRASTRUCTURE ## A clean separation of authorship, contract, and deployment. [Hub](/hub) Authoring software Authors and validates the .vio system definition. Does not deploy. [.vio](/vio) System definition Composes distinct, versioned artifacts into the complete system definition. Helix The deployer Takes the .vio contract and deploys it to infrastructure. Viorant Cloud Managed infrastructure option Secure, managed infrastructure for running AI systems with built-in defaults for isolation, scaling, and networking. Sentinel Observability, security, and control panel Monitors and controls deployed assets across environments. Provides logs, metrics, alerts, policy enforcement, and audit trails. ## Built for engineers. Designed for trust. Explicit compatibility Names the supported framework, model, runtime, and target. Reproducible builds Deterministic builds ensure the same inputs produce the same outputs. Signed deployments Cryptographically signed artifacts and provenance for every deployment. Portable across supported targets Keeps the system definition stable while tested adapters prepare target-specific outputs. Parity guard Local-to-target consistency checks prevent drift and runtime surprises. Secrets via env vars Secure, portable integration of secrets and configuration through environment variables. Auditability Full lineage, change history, and deployment logs for compliance and trust. Policy-aware deployment Policies and guardrails are enforced automatically at deploy time. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ## Questions, answered. 01 What is Helix? + Helix reads a .vio system definition, checks required evidence, transforms the composition, and deploys it to explicitly supported targets. 02 What is Helix availability? + Current product and target status is published only after verification by the responsible owner. 03 What does Helix do with a .vio file? + Helix verifies signatures, resolves dependencies, transforms assets, builds a runtime package, and deploys it to the infrastructure you choose. 04 Where can I deploy today? + You can deploy to Local environments and Viorant Cloud, Viorant's managed infrastructure option. 05 Where can Helix deploy? + Only targets listed in the current support matrix should be treated as available. Preview and roadmap targets remain separate. 06 What is Viorant Cloud? + Viorant Cloud is Viorant's managed infrastructure option with secure defaults for isolation, scaling, and networking. 07 What is Sentinel? + Sentinel is our observability, security, and control panel for deployed assets. It monitors, secures, and helps you operate your systems. 08 How is Hub different from Helix? + Hub is the authoring software for creating and validating the .vio contract. It does not deploy. Helix is the deployer that takes the contract and runs it. ## Deploy AI with control. Helix prepares target-specific deployments for explicitly supported targets. Transformation and deployment engine for explicitly supported targets. [Join the waitlist →](/contact)[Talk to us →](/contact)
