Tetra Agents

Tetra Agents provide built-in data integration with specific instruments or systems. They offer similar functionality as Tetra Connectors, but are Windows based and run exclusively on-premises. After the data is uploaded to the Tetra Data Platform (TDP), it can then be processed by a pipeline, translated into a Tetra Data model, and integrated with other systems.

For more information about the different types of Tetra Integrations, see Tetra Integrations.

Deployment Options

You can deploy Agents in two ways:

  • On-Premises—requires the use of a Tetra Hub.
  • TDP (No Connector)—allows Agents to upload source data directly to the TDP or Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).

For more information, see Agent Deployment Options.
