Deployment Model

Carefully evaluate all relevant factors before selecting your deployment model. Once the model is deployed on-premises, it cannot be switched to a different model, and the same restriction applies if you choose another deployment option. It is important to consider your long-term needs and requirements, as changing the deployment model after implementation will not be possible.

Robility Cloud

Robility Manager, Designer, Runner, and all associated components will be deployed, fully configured, and completely managed by Sutherland as part of a comprehensive automation-as-a-service solution for enterprise clients. This service ensures that all aspects of the automation platform are expertly handled, from installation and setup to ongoing management and support, allowing clients to focus on their core business operations while leveraging the power of automation without the need to manage the underlying infrastructure themselves.

Robility Manager is equipped with a High-Availability architecture that leverages a load balancer to distribute workloads effectively and ensure seamless functionality. In the event of a server or database failure, this setup minimizes downtime by redirecting operations to other active components in the system. By maintaining continuous availability, Robility ensures that business-critical operations can proceed without disruption, providing enterprises with the reliability needed to manage their automation processes efficiently.

Robility Designer and Runner will be deployed in either an on-premises environment or a public cloud setup Windows class machine, depending on the client’s requirements. Each deployment will incorporate comprehensive security measures to safeguard the automation processes and associated data. These measures are designed to protect against potential threats, ensure data integrity, and maintain compliance with industry standards, providing a secure and reliable environment for all automation operations.

Enterprise clients opting for this deployment model are required to provide access to their applications through secure methods such as the internet, VPN, or Citrix. This access is essential for developers and robots to interact with the necessary systems and perform the required automation tasks. Ensuring secure and reliable connectivity will enable seamless automation execution, while maintaining the integrity and security of the client’s environment.

Robility On-Premises / Public Cloud

The Robility Manager, Designer, Runner, and all supported associated platform components can be deployed and hosted directly on the enterprise client’s on-premises infrastructure. This allows the client to maintain full control over their environment, ensuring that the platform operates within their internal network and meets their specific security, compliance, and performance requirements.

This setup is entirely air-gapped and isolated, meaning it operates in a completely secure environment with no access to the internet. This ensures that all systems and data within the setup are completely separated from external networks, providing an additional layer of security and minimizing the risk of cyber threats or unauthorized access.

This deployment model places the responsibility on the enterprise to manage and maintain all infrastructure components. This includes tasks such as ensuring disaster recovery processes are in place, applying security patches to protect the system, and overseeing the upgrading of the platform to newer versions. The enterprise must allocate resources and expertise to effectively handle these critical functions to ensure the continued stability and security of the system.

Robility Hybrid

Robility Manager (Orchestrator) will be hosted and managed by Sutherland as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, with each client provided their own dedicated tenant. Additionally, Robility Manager is designed with high availability, utilizing a load balancer to ensure continuity during disasters or server/database outages. This setup guarantees that Robility remains online and fully operational, supporting business-critical functions without interruption.

Robility Designer and Runner can be installed within the client’s environment to support the development and deployment of automation solutions effectively. To ensure seamless integration and functionality, the client is required to provide a Windows-class machine that meets the specified technical requirements. Additionally, the client must implement the necessary network and firewall configurations to establish secure and reliable access to the Robility Manager, which is hosted over the internet. These provisions are critical for maintaining connectivity and enabling smooth operation of the automation environment.
