Reference Architectures are created from a combination of:

Purpose of this guide
This guide focuses on the Talend Physical Reference Architecture for Talend on-premises platforms. It focuses on the physical deployment of Talend client and server components on your infrastructure. It is intended to be a guide to how you should deploy the Talend Platform covering topics like what infrastructure you will need, what components should be installed on the same / different machines, environment strategy to support a best practice SDLC etc.This guide is intentionally a lighter-weight guide than the Talend Cloud Physical Reference Architecture and is primarily
intended to support those customers that have not yet made the move to Talend Cloud.

architecture (on premises), see the Talend
