14. Cloud Deployment Architecture:
Data is streamed not stored. 14

15. Elastic Integration Platform Architecture
15

16. Elastic Integration Platform Architecture
 Implemented based on Concept of SDN – Software Defined Networking
 System decoupled into two main areas,
 Control plane
 Data plane
1. Control Plane
 It controls where and how the data are processed based on configurations
 Three web applications > Designer, Manager and Dashboard
16

17. Control Plane:
 1. Hardware and Software Load Balancers:
 2. Security: Manages the authorization and authentication of users accessing the web
applications.
 3. Scheduler: Manages scheduled tasks and jobs of integration pipelines.
 4. Controller: The control point where elasticity, lifecycle, software updates, etc. of all
runtime components are managed.
 5. Metadata Repository: Stores pipeline metadata in a fully redundant, secure
database(MongoDB).
 6. Amazon S3 for File System and Log Servers: Stores system files and pipeline generated
log files in a secure and resilient environment.
 7. SnapWatch: The management and monitoring tool for the SnapLogic DevOps team to
administer the entire SnapLogic Integration Cloud infrastructure.
17

18. Data plane
 The “data plane” is where the actual business data is processed
 One or more Snaplex
 On premise Groundplex > installation required
 Cloudplex > Preconfigured
 Hadooplex
 Eplex > New release
 Remotely managed by control plane
 The unit of scalability inside Snaplex is a Java virtual machine (JVM), referred
to as a “Node
 One or more nodes for scalability
 Auto scaling of nodes
18

19. Web Standards: JSON, REST, APIs, and Mobile
 JSON - Java script Object Notation
 REST - Representational State Transfer
 Common standard for data interchange as JSON and REST service for web
application
 Cloud web standards for to handle
 Structured data
 Un-Structured data
 Each pipeline can be invoke by REST protocol
 We can expose as API service for pipelines with security of authentication
