Infrastructure Reference Architecture

Infrastructure Reference Architecture

Intended audience

This reference guide is intended for use by system architects, technicians, and designers who are seeking to gain an understanding of the product architecture, and the implementation options available when deploying the solution in any of a combination of single or multi-server deployment patterns.

About this guide

This guide provides an introduction to each of the available components within a Blue Prism environment and provides detailed information relating to the various options and design decisions that can be considered as part of the implementation. It focuses on core best practice architectural patterns and is not intended to cover non-standard deployments.

It is recommended that, to start, users should become familiar with the various components that feature within a Blue Prism environment and identify the architecture most suited to the deployment being considered.

Document summary and quick links
