## Why use Tensor9?

Tensor9 solves hard problems related to delivering software/AI products into diverse customer-owned environments:

* **Deployment** across customer environments with continuous sync.
* **Portability** of managed cloud service by replacing them with equivalents.
* **Observability** through synchronized logs, metrics and traces.
* **Customer control** over maintenance and vendor access.
* **[Per-customer configuration](/customizations/overview)** without per-customer forks. Each customer's install is shaped by their own ingress, managed-service, and connectivity choices, compiled from your single origin stack.
