Tetra Connectors
Tetra Connectors provide built-in data integration with specific instruments or systems. They offer similar functionality as Tetra Agents, but are containerized applications that can run either on-premises or in the cloud. After the data is uploaded to the Tetra Scientific Data Cloud, 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.
Connector Types
The TDP currently supports two Connector types, which offer the same functionality, but different levels of customization:
- Legacy Connectors are tightly coupled with the TDP and must be upgraded in conjunction with TDP releases.
- Pluggable Connectors can be deployed independent of a TDP release. For more information, see Create, Configure, and Update Pluggable Connectors.
Connector Deployment Options
You can deploy Connectors in two ways:
- On-premises—requires the use of a Tetra Hub v1 (previously Tetra Data Hub) for Legacy Connectors, or a Tetra Hub v2 for Pluggable Connectors. To deploy an on-premises Connector, see Add a Connector to a Hub v1 and Add a Connector to a Hub v2.
- Cloud—allows connectors to run in the AWS Cloud, without the use of a Tetra Hub.
Supported Tetra Connectors
The TDP currently supports the following Legacy Connectors.
| Connector | Source Type | Capabilities | Supported Deployment Types |
