Bizagi Enterprise .Net system requirements
The following requirements correspond to Bizagi's Enterprise .Net edition approach and features.
View the article about the differences between Bizagi editions or Bizagi editions' features comparison table.
Production environment
In the Production environment, Bizagi can be set up with the following recommended minimum requirements for 2 main scenarios:
- Mission Critical: This scenario and infraestructure set up uses a BPM cluster and a database cluster, and it is designed for those business applications and services which are expected to be available all the time (high availability).
- Standard Scenario: This scenario uses a single BPM server and a single database server (no load balancing and fault tolerance needed).
For any of the 2 scenarios it is strongly recommended to use the Bizagi Enterprise .Net for 64-bits version.
Note: When using the 64-bit Bizagi Enterprise .NET edition, it is required to use IIS.
Mission Critical (High Availability)
To support a high performance and availability of Bizagi's solution, this scenario involves additional servers (cluster configuration), for load balancing in the BPM server, and fault tolerance in the Database server).
|
Note: While using a clustered BPM Server (in this scenario), it is required to configure the use of Sticky Sessions in the load balancer.
The configuration for Sticky Sessions use differs according to the software or hardware employeed as load balancer.
|
| Number of BPM Servers: 2 (with load balance cluster configuration). | |||

Additional Information
Take into account that the hardware requirements for a Production environment will also depend on other variables such as: the number of concurrent users, the processing demands, the expected database and file growth, amongst others.
Therefore, the recommended minimum requirements and configurations presented in this article may be complemented by carrying out an analysis related to the sizing of the specific project (for hardware dimension).
For instance, this includes defining the number of additional BPM servers (web farm) for the solution.
To view and obtain a sizing estimation for your project, you may use our Bizagi Sizing Estimator.

Production environment with Internet Access
For projects in which end users need to access the work portal via internet, an optional Apache Server can be configured as a reverse proxy in a DMZ, in order to allow secure internet access to Bizagi's projects:
