Understanding the Platform Architecture and Topology

The architectural diagrams provided in this article provide a high-level view of the underlying infrastructure and technology stack that supports the Delinea Platform. You can leverage this material if you are interested in network connectivity to the Delinea Platform and its related services.

Please note that we are continually improving and optimizing our architecture to ensure that our service is scalable, secure, and efficient.

The suggested list of ports in this document shows all of the default port numbers. These default ports may differ based on your environment and your own unique requirements. In all cases, the ports and addresses listed below should be excluded from packet inspection to allow for proper service operation.

Delinea Platform: High-Level Overview

The diagram below highlights the overall architecture of the Delinea Platform.

  • Shared services are foundational services that provide infrastructure and other common resources that are designed to be consumed by various back end applications such as authentication, notification, and audit.

  • Application services leverage platform shared services, and are designed to provide functionality that is unique to the application such as vaulting and remote access.

    The Delinea Platform is evolving with every new release. The overview diagram below may be forward-looking from that perspective.

Delinea Platform Engine Management

The Delinea Platform manages and protects endpoints using small software packages called engines. Engines run as services on endpoints, facilitating downloading, installing, and running other Delinea products (called workloads).

Engines exchange data with the Delinea Platform to keep endpoints up to date and provide the latest engine and workload status.

Engine Management Architecture

The Engine Management feature provides administrators with a single interface for managing engines, which are automatically updated and maintained after installation — removing the need for the separate installers and management processes that are traditionally necessary on individual machines.
