Next Generation architecture
SS&C | Blue Prism ® Next Generation utilizes a hybrid deployment model. Blue Prism hosts all account and environment level data in our AWS cloud, whilst allowing for process execution to take place within the customer's network. Digital Workers and Design Studio can be installed onto virtualized or physical machines behind the customer's firewall for secure process execution.
Both on-premises components, Design Studio and Digital Worker, make outbound connections only, so there is no need to configure any inbound firewall rules for these components.
The Next Generation architecture is split into the following levels:
Account level
The account level contains automation management level functionality and general administration. This includes managing user and digital worker access to environments, the ability to download the on-premises components, and cross-team collaboration on process automation artifacts across environments. The following table shows the account level components and their functions:

Environment level
The environment level contains process and digital worker execution data and functionality. This includes configuring digital worker sessions, and scheduling the sessions to run within the customer's infrastructure, and providing access to runtime data. The following table shows the environment level components and their functions:
