Factry Historian is built from a small set of components that collect, contextualize and store industrial process data. This section covers what those components are and how a deployment is shaped around them.

1. [System Architecture](docId\:KCgbFMC9NZAlo3m2rQmMI) covers the components and how data moves between them.
2. [Deployment Architecture](docId\:elGvx3f-USQzjrYwBJbKn) covers the common deployment patterns, and the trade-offs of each.
