Audience
The audience for this series of Groundplex articles varies. At a large organization, the SnapLogic Org admin who manages Groundplex resources might be or work with a dev-ops engineer or network administrator.
However, the Groundplex can also serve a pipeline developer’s needs when managing node resources is a requirement for testing pipelines. In this case, the pipeline developer is the creator of the Snaplex and controls the underlying node resources.
In this article, the term Org admin access does not distinguish between these roles and assumes that you have access to the underlying resources of your Groundplex nodes.
Key Features
Customization: You manage the resources for the Groundplex node. This enables you to customize both computing resources and network configurations to your specific requirements.
Security: You can install a Groundplex on an end user's local machine that provides access to data both on-premises, behind a firewall, and in the cloud.
Flexibility: You can install a Groundplex anywhere on the end user network that has access to the required data or on-premises application(s).
Efficiency: The advantage of
using a Groundplex instead of a cloud Snaplex is that data
that resides
in the end user data center can be accessed through SnapLogic
Pipelines. All
Pipelines and associated metadata are stored in the cloud by SnapLogic. When a
Pipeline needs to access data residing on
-premise, the
Pipeline can be run with
a Snaplex on-
premise runtime path.

Workflow
The following diagram illustrates the workflow for deploying a Groundplex.

We do not recommend sharing a node between two Snaplogic Orgs. Installing Snaplogic app on a machine more than once may compromise stability. |
Prerequisites
You must be an Org administrator to set up a Groundplex.
You must have sufficient computing resources to create Groundplex nodes. These resources can be in the cloud or in an on-premises installation or remote data center.
For a firewall, you need to have administrator access to your on-premises network.
Support
You can subscribe to Professional Services for assistance with installing and maintaining your Groundplex. To learn more, contact your CSM.
