Groundplex and Snaplex nodes are critical components of the SnapLogic platform, responsible for executing and managing integration pipelines. Understanding the roles and configurations of these nodes is essential for setting up a secure, efficient, and scalable data integration environment. By configuring and managing these nodes effectively, organizations can achieve a robust, secure, and high-performance data integration environment.

Snaplex nodes

Snaplex nodes are the data processing engines in SnapLogic that execute integration pipelines. They can be deployed as either Groundplex nodes (self-managed) or Cloudplex nodes (managed by SnapLogic in the cloud). Snaplex nodes

• Support scaling to handle varying workloads, ensuring optimal performance even under high load conditions.
• Enable configuration for optimizing data processing, including cache management, proxy settings, and WebSocket connections.

Groundplex nodes

Groundplex nodes provide a secure and controlled environment for data integration, allowing organizations to process sensitive data within their own infrastructure.

• Groundplex nodes are ideal for organizations with strict data security and compliance requirements, as they operate within the organization's firewall.
• Supports advanced security configurations, including Kerberos authentication, ensuring secure communication and data processing.
• Allows extensive customization of configurations, including Java version management, logging settings, and network configurations.
