# Tellius architecture

The Tellius architecture is designed to be user-friendly and easily accessible, allowing for seamless integration with existing systems.

The Tellius architecture consists of the following components:

* The main entry point to Tellius is the **HTML5-based Web UI**, which runs in a web browser.
* **Natural Language Search** allows users to input natural language queries, which the engine then converts into backend queries for processing.
* The **Genius Insights** engine uses advanced machine learning algorithms to automatically discover actionable insights.
* The **Predictive Machine Learning** engine enables the training of custom machine learning models for making predictions
* **Distributed Filesystem** is responsible for storing intermediate data generated by Machine Learning and Genius Insights engine. Optionally, it can be used for storing data when explicitly enabled.
* **Fast Query Database** is a columnar store for storing data in indexed format for real-time search and visualization on big data. This is a cost-effective option when data cannot fit in available memory and high performance is still desired.

### **Deployment architecture of Tellius**

Tellius can be deployed on-premises behind a firewall or in any of the major cloud technologies such as,

* Amazon Web Services
* Microsoft Azure
* Google Cloud

Here is an illustration of the deployment architecture of Tellius:

The components are,

1. **Kubernetes Cluster:** It is a cluster of Kubernetes on one or more nodes.
2. **Tellius Microservices:** All the services related to Tellius will be running on the Kubernetes cluster, including,
   * **Fast Query Engine (FQE) microservice**, which is responsible for running the FQE engine cluster to handle high-performance data querying.
   * **In-Memory Compute Engine (ICE)** **microservice**, which is responsible for running an ICE engine cluster to handle computationally intensive machine learning tasks

Other auxiliary services, like Tellius Web UI and Python environment, are also available.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.tellius.com/tellius-documentation/getting-started/admin-guide/tellius-architecture.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
