This section details the overall architecture for the two key iLeap Platform implementation types. iLeap Platform is offered in both single-tenantSingle-tenant hosting is an architecture where each company has their own instance of the business application and supporting infrastructure. & multi-tenantMulti-tenant hosting is an architecture where multiple companies share the same infrastructure to store their business data. The infrastructure is designed so that business information is partitioned keeping data belonging to each company separate and secure. deployments. iLeap Platform's deployment architecture is primarily designed to meet diverse business needs through its flexible options for Cloud and On-Premises environments. iLeap's robust deployment options results in flexibility, high availability, better security, easy maintenance and affordability for its customers.

iLeap platform offers flexible deployment options designed to cater to diverse enterprise needs and technical environments. Enterprises can choose between on-premises deployment, where the platform is installed directly on local servers, providing complete control over their data, security, & infrastructure. This option is particularly beneficial for businesses with stringent regulatory requirements or specific data governance policies. Alternatively, iLeap supports cloud-based deployment, allowing organizations to leverage the scalability and flexibility of cloud infrastructure. This option enables rapid provisioning, reduces the need for extensive hardware investments, and ensures that the latest updates and features are readily available.

Additionally, iLeap platform provides hybrid deployment capabilities, allowing businesses to combine both on-premises and cloud solutions. This flexibility supports businesses in gradually transitioning to the cloud while still maintaining critical workloads on-premises. Furthermore, the platform can be integrated with existing/legacy enterprise systems, providing seamless interoperability and enhancing the overall user experience.

With its robust deployment options, iLeap ensures that enterprises can select a solution that aligns with their operational requirements and strategic goals, facilitating more efficient implementation and maximizing the return on investment.

For organizations with strict compliance or data residency requirements, iLeap supports On-Premises deployments. This option allows enterprises to maintain complete control over their application environment, data, and security protocols. With on-premises deployment, businesses can integrate with existing IT infrastructure and customize their application architecture according to specific needs while leveraging the iLeap’s rapid development capabilities.

With iLeap On-Premises, the server side components of the iLeap Platform are hosted on servers inside your organization's firewall. iLeap On-Premises can operate in a multi-tenant configuration - Platform as a Service (Pass). You can connect to services inside or outside your firewall, and maintain complete control of the connections, high availability, and security.

One of the primary deployment options is the iLeap Cloud, a fully managed service that enables businesses to focus on building applications without the overhead of infrastructure management. This cloud-based approach ensures high availability, automatic scaling, and security, empowering enterprises to deliver applications seamlessly. iLeap Cloud runs entirely in the cloud with no software installed in your local environment. It is a multi-tenant Platform as a Service (PaaS) that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of iLeap applications and can connect with other cloud-based services and platforms, such as Microsoft office 365 or Microsoft Dynamics CRM. It manages infrastructure provisioning, security, and maintenance, allowing developers to focus on application development.

The iLeap Cloud physical infrastructure is hosted in the secure data centers of Cloud Service Provider associated.

iLeap's architecture also supports a hybrid model where applications can be developed in the cloud and later moved to on-premise environments, or vice versa. This deployment option allows businesses to leverage the flexibility of the cloud while keeping their critical data and applications on-premise for security or compliance purposes. In other words, this flexibility is essential for businesses that may need to adapt their deployment strategy over a period of time.

iLeap Platform is designed from the grounds-up to facilitate rapid application development while ensuring scalability for enterprise-level applications. It offers a comprehensive set of scalability features that empower organizations to develop, deploy, and manage applications efficiently while adapting to evolving demands in a rapid-paced digital world.

Following are the key enterprise scalability features of iLeap Platform.

• Horizontal and Vertical Scaling

  iLeap supports both horizontal scalingalso known as 'Scale Out'., which allows the addition of more servers or instances to handle increased loads, and vertical scalingalso known as 'Scale Up'., enabling the enhancement of existing server resources. As organizations grow and their application demands intensify, iLeap enables developers to scale applications horizontally by distributing the load across multiple servers or instances. This elasticity ensures that applications remain responsive and capable of serving a larger user base seamlessly. In other words, iLeap's cloud-based deployment options support elastic scaling, which automatically adjusts the number of servers allocated to an application based on the current demand. This means that the platform can handle spikes in traffic without requiring manual intervention to scale resources.

  The dual approach of supporting both horizontal and vertical scaling effectively provides virtually unlimited scalability, accommodating enterprise growth as needed.

• REST based architecture

  iLeap Platform is highly scalable due to its REST based architecture since during application development, the REST protocol totally separates the user interface from the server and the data storage. iLeap allows different components of the developments to be evolved independently thereby increasing the scalability of the projects/applications.

• Multi-Tenancy

  iLeap allows for the creation of multiple environments (tenants) within a single instance of the platform, which can be isolated from each other. This enables organizations to manage and scale their applications efficiently across different departments, teams, or customer bases.

• Load Balancing

  iLeap's architecture supports load balancing, which distributes the workload evenly across multiple servers to prevent any single server from becoming a bottleneck. This enhances the performance and reliability of the application as it scales.

• Support for Batch Processes

  iLeap provides dynamic support for batch processing and scheduling, allowing applications to handle large volumes of data efficiently. This capability is crucial for managing resource-intensive tasks without impacting overall system performance.

• Flexibility in Integration

  iLeap allows seamless integration with third-party databases and services, enabling businesses to scale their applications by incorporating additional functionalities as needed. This flexibility is essential for adapting to changing business requirements.

  In a nutshell, iLeap Platform provides immaculate integration with cloud services, allowing businesses to leverage cloud scalability options. This integration enables organizations to effortlessly expand their capacity in response to user growth or seasonal spikes in traffic, ensuring that their applications remain reliable and available at all times.
