Platform architecture

Overview of Platform Components

The nChain Product Suite Platform is used to deploy Product Environments.

A Product Environment is an isolated space for trying out a product, with dedicated instances of a service. You can deploy and trial one Product Environment per Product selection (E.g. nChain Event, nChain Sign, nChain Identity) and on a paid plan you can deploy as many Product Environments for your purposes as you prefer.

Once deployed, you can manage the Access Control (API keys and user permissions) to your environments via the Customer Admin Portal.

Each Product Environment handles the connection and transmission of data to the blockchain as required by the Product

Product Environments

Data Management and Processing

Any data storage requirements by a Product are isolated within the Product Environment so that your data is not co-mingled with other customers.

Isolated Domains with nChain Event

Isolated Domains with nChain Sign

nChain ensures that backups of all environment are done periodically using industry standards practice. The periodicity and other settings are defined as per our Term of Use.

On deletion of a Product Environment, any data that was stored, including backups, is destroyed.
