Groundplex deployment comprises many factors for consideration. Most of these considerations are due to because of IT requirements in your computing environment, but some also depend on Pipeline production and the types of Pipelines you plan to run in production.

While Although Groundplex and Snaplex refer to the same thing, this article uses Snaplex in general when referring to the type of Asset in SnapLogic Manager, and Groundplex in the context of the computing resources underlying it. |

Nodes (Min/Rec) | Minimum: 1 Recommended: 2 or more nodes | SnapLogic Project and Enterprise platform package nodes can be configured in the following sizes:
We recommend two nodes for high availability. For requirements about clustering nodes, see refer to Node Cluster. All nodes within a Snaplex must be of the same size. |
|---|---|---|
RAM (Min) | Minimum: 8GB8 GB | Depending on the size, number, and nature design of Pipelines, more RAM is required to maintain an acceptable level of performance. |
CPU (Min) | Minimum: 2 core | All Snaps execute in parallel in their own threads: the more cores that are available to the Snaplex, the more performant the system. |
DISK (Min/Rec) | Minimum: 40GB40 GB Recommended: 100GB100 GB | Local disk space is required for logging and for any Snap that uses the local disk for temporary storage (for example, Sort and Join Snaps). For details, see refer to Temporary Folder. SnapLogic does not in anyway restrict have restrictions on the disk size of your Groundplex nodes. |

Memory (RAM) is used by the Pipelines to execute. Some Snaps, like such as Sort Snaps, which accumulate many documents, consume more memory; the amount of memory used is influenced by the volume and size of the documents being processed. For an optimum sizing analysis based on your requirements, contact your SnapLogic Sales Engineer. |

CentOS (or Red Hat) Linux 6.3 or newer.
Debian and Ubuntu Linux.
Windows Server 2008 64-bit, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2016 with a minimum of 8GB 8 GB RAM.
You can also deploy a Groundplex:
...
For improved security, the Groundplex machine timestamp is verified to check if it is in sync synchronized with the timestamp time stamp on the SnapLogic Cloud. Running a time service on the Groundplex node ensures that the timestamp is always kept in syncsynchronized.
For Linux, see refer to Basic NTP Configuration for more details on setting up a NTP server.
For Windows, see refer to Windows Time Service Technical Reference for more information.
Large A large clock skew can also affect communication between the FeedMaster and the JCC nodes. The Date.now() expression language function might be different between Snaplex nodes, and Internal log messages might have skewed timestampstime stamps, making it more difficult to debug issues.
...
Groundplexes require connectivity to the SnapLogic Integration Cloud, as well as and also connectivity to the Cloud cloud applications which may be used in your Tasks and Pipelines.
To optimize performance, we recommend the following network throughput guidelines:
Guideline | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
Network In (Min/Rec) | Min: 10MB/sec, Recommended: 15MB/sec10 MB/second | 15 MB/second+ |
Network Out (Min/Rec) | Min: 5MB/sec, Recommended: 10MB/sec5 MB/second | 10MB/second+ |
