 | **Global Standard**   | Global Standard deployments leverage Azure's global infrastructure to dynamically route customer traffic to the data center with the best availability for the customer’s inference requests. | Highest initial throughput limits, best model availability, low latency. | Potential latency variation for high volume workloads. | Ideal for applications needing high availability and low latency. Uses Azure's global load balancing and routing capabilities. |
 | **Provisioned Throughput Units (PTUs)** | PTUs provide guaranteed throughput by allocating specific processing capacity for your deployment. This ensures stable performance and predictable latency. | Predictable performance, allocated processing capacity, potential cost savings for high throughput workloads. | Requires accurate forecasting of capacity needs, may involve higher upfront costs. | Best for applications with consistent and high throughput requirements. Requires careful planning and capacity management. |
