# Prepare BRIX On-Premises infrastructure > [HTML Version](infrastructure-preparation.html) An infrastructure is a set of components necessary for operation of the BRIX application. Depending on the objectives, the approaches and requirements for organizing an BRIX On-Premises infrastructure differ. Let’s take a look at the following infrastructure organization options: - Development/test environment infrastructures. - Production environment infrastructures. - High availability production environment infrastructures. ```` Начало внимание ```` You can choose one of the infrastructure organization options. ```` Конец внимание ## ```` Development/test environment infrastructures This infrastructure organization option is suitable for development and test environments and does not require the increased reliability of storage components. 1. Environment with Internet access. **[![infrastructure-preparation-3](infrastructure-preparation-3.png)]** **Characteristics:** - One physical server or virtual machine for all components. - Installation with Internet access. - Embedded storage data components. For more information on how to deploy this type of infrastructure, read the following articles: - [Kubernetes cluster](kubernetes-deckhouse-air-gap.md). - [Prepare embedded databases](embedded-databases-settings.md). - [Install BRIX in Kubernetes](installing-elma365-enterprise.md). 2. Environment without Internet access. **[![infrastructure-preparation-4](infrastructure-preparation-4.png)]** **Characteristics:** - One physical server or virtual machine for BRIX On-Premises and data storage components. - One physical server or virtual machine for Kubernetes image storage. - Installation without Internet access. - Local Kubernetes image storage. - Embedded data storage components.

Environment with Internet access. **[![infrastructure-preparation-5](infrastructure-preparation-5.png)]** **Characteristics:** - One physical server or virtual machine for BRIX On-Premises, proxying and storage components. - Three physical servers or virtual machines for external databases. - Installation with Internet access. - Embedded RabbitMQ and Valkey or Redis data storage components. - External MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and S3 MinIO data storage components. - Embedded HAProxy proxy server for proxying incoming requests to external S3 storage. For more information on how to deploy this type of infrastructure, see: - [MongoDB](mongodb.md). - [PostgreSQL](postgresql.md). - [MinIO S3](configure-minio.md). - [Kubernetes cluster](kubernetes-deckhouse-air-gap.md). - [Prepare embedded databases](embedded-databases-settings.md) (install RabbitMQ and Valkey or Redis). - [S3 proxying in Kubernetes via S3-Gateway](proxy-s3-kubernetes.md). - [Proxying databases in Kubernetes via DB-Gateway](proxy-db-kubernetes.md). - [Install BRIX in Kubernetes](installing-elma365-enterprise.md). 2. Environment without Internet access. **[![infrastructure-preparation-6](infrastructure-preparation-6.png)]** **Characteristics:** - One physical server or virtual machine for BRIX On-Premises, proxying and storage components. - Three physical servers or virtual machines for external databases. - One physical server or virtual machine for Kubernetes image storage. - Installation without Internet access. - Local Kubernetes image storage. - Embedded RabbitMQ and Valkey or Redis data storage components. - External MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and S3 MinIO data storage components. - Embedded HAProxy proxy server for proxying incoming requests to external S3 storage. For more information on how to deploy this type of infrastructure, see the following articles: - [Install Harbor](installing-harbor.md). - [Download BRIX images](downloadin-images-elma365.md). - [Download Deckhouse images](downloading-images-deckhouse.md). - [ֿKubernetes cluster](kubernetes-deckhouse-air-gap.md). - [Prepare embedded databases](embedded-databases-settings.md). - [Install BRIX in Kubernetes](installing-elma365-enterprise.md). ## High availability production environment infrastructure The infrastructure organization option is suitable for operational environments (production) with high reliability requirements for storage components. **(infrastructure-preparation-07.png)** **Characteristics:** - 10 physical servers or virtual machines for the Kubernetes cluster that will host BRIX On-Premises and data storage components. - 10 physical servers or virtual machines for external databases. - Two physical servers or virtual machines for balancing and proxying incoming requests to BRIX On-Premises and S3 storage. - One physical server or virtual machine for Kubernetes image storage. - Installation without Internet access. - Local Kubernetes image store. - Embedded high availability RabbitMQ and Valkey or Redis data storage components. - External high availability MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and S3 MinIO data storage components. - External high availability HAProxy proxy server for proxying incoming requests to BRIX On-Premises and S3 storage.
