Overview

Automation Server executes your processes and delivers them to the desktops and mobiles of every business user.

Automation Server supports setup in a .NET platform.

For introductory information about Automation Server, refer to Automation Server.

 

Requirements

The following requirements are narrowed down by database server, Bizagi server, and other infrastructure assets.

 

Database server

For a high availability system architecture, at least two nodes for the database are recommended.

Each node should consider the following requirements:

 

 

Bizagi server

For a high availability system architecture, at least two nodes for a Bizagi cluster are recommended.

Each node should consider the following requirements:

 

 

Sites requirements

If you are using Bizagi Sites, you need any of the following versions of .NET Core:

 

•.NET Core 2.1.1

•.NET Core 2.2.104

•.NET Core 2.2.3

 

Bizagi Studio server installer includes the 2.1.1 version by default.

 

Other relevant infrastructure assets

Consider the following infrastructure requirements and other relevant recommendations:

 

1. Load balancer

For the load balancing for Bizagi servers, you may use either a software or hardware load balancer.

Bizagi does not provide the load balancer.

It is recommended the use of a hardware-appliance load balancer such as f5.

 

2. File server (optional)

Files and documents uploaded through your processes, are not stored in the database.

You may choose to integrate your corporate ECM/DMS system as a documents repository that store such files and documents; or alternatively, you may rely on a file server (i.e., a shared network drive). Bizagi does not provide the file server or ECM/DMS system.

It is important that all nodes of your Bizagi server cluster have access to such file server.

 

Such file server needs no specific requirements, save having the sufficient hard disk capacity to store your documents and files.

You will need to calculate and perform a sizing analysis based on the expected amount of files and their file size.

 

3. Reverse proxy server (optional)

In case you choose to set up a secure access to your processes via Internet, it is recommended to use two nodes for a reverse proxy server in a high availability system architecture (configuring a load balance cluster at this layer).

Bizagi does not provide the reverse proxy server.

Each node should consider the following requirements, involving an Apache HTTP Server:

 

 

End users and testers

Bizagi Work portal is a web-based application and therefore, end users only need a browser or Bizagi's app installed for mobile devices.

Bizagi presents several optimization measures featured by its own product architecture, focused on mobile devices support, so that the best user experience is provided without the need of demanding requirements (for instance, Bizagi has been tested with 3G and 4G internet).

Even though Bizagi does not demand a high speed in the network for end user connectivity, consider that there are factors which are beyond Bizagi's control, and which may affect overall end user experience.

 

End users on mobile devices would be communicating over the internet. This communication will inherently depend upon factors such as: A higher latency in data transmission, fluctuations, interference and congestion affecting the speed of the channel, or the quality of the networks used during transmission, among others. We strongly recommend using the mobile application. If a browser is t be used in mobile devices, we recommend using the Mobile view, where the minimum resolution is 700px.

 

 

Important

Consider the following notes:

 

1. Operating systems installed in Turkish language are not supported.

All involved servers will need to be set with regional settings different to those for Turkish language and culture (tr, tr-TR).

 

2. Consider recommended guidelines when installing and configuring Bizagi.

These guidelines include a sizing estimation for best performance, as well as relevant infrastructure aspects in the overall system architecture.

For instance, there are recommendations regarding the network or when setting up the above servers in virtual machines.

For more information about these recommendations, refer to the Optimizing performance chapter.
