A computer-aided configuration for a technical installation includes a presentation layer with operator control interfaces, an application layer containing all applications, a realtime basic processing layer for providing all applications and operator control interfaces with information and a data manager for creating and maintaining data models for operating and system functions. One such configuration is constructed in such a way that the structure thereof is favorable to extension and offers high availability. The applications in the realtime basic processing layer are respectively combined to form bundles, wherein the same data model is respectively common to the applications of a bundle. The data of a respective application bundle is stored in an application bundle storage unit as shared memory mapped files. A method for operating such a configuration includes storing the data in the realtime basic processing layer in an application bundle storage unit as shared memory mapped files.
