DATA SHEET
Infrastructure Introduction
This data sheet provides technical guidance regarding the specification and configuration of environments for Blue
Prism. It is intended as a guide for indicative sizing and configuration however specific environments will vary
depending on the profile of the Blue Prism® implementation.
More detailed information can be obtained from the Blue Prism Infrastructure Overview, available on request.
Implementation Profile
A Blue Prism implementation consists of a database server coupled with any number of Interactive Clients, Runtime
Resources and Blue Prism Application Servers, depending on the business application.
The components perform the following functions:
Blue Prism Interactive Client
A physical or virtual Machine with Blue Prism installed which facilitates the development, configuration and
monitoring of Blue Prism processes.
Blue Prism Runtime Resource
A physical or virtual Machine with Blue Prism installed that runs automated processes against target
applications, often referred to as the robot.
Blue Prism Application Server
A physical or virtual machine with the Blue Prism Server service installed which shields database
connection details from connected clients, implements encryption and hosts the Scheduler.
SQL Server Database
Blue Prism repository for processes, logs, audit and user info.
It is common for most components to be deployed into a production strength virtual infrastructure, for pilot
processes or small projects there is the option to deploy the solution on a desktop model.
