The Qlik view architecture comprises of three main components, namely
- QlikView Server
- Qlik View Publisher
- QlikView Desktop.
QlikView is a Windows-application running on x86 and x64 architectures and it provides a unique scope for BI deployment flexibility.
A small company may use one or several QlikView Client installations, which are both the development environment and the user application. This solution enables you to engage in business intelligence even with the most minimal investment.
With a larger amount of data and increased number of users, you might use a client-server architecture, involving the processing of data on the server and sending the results of calculations to clients on the network. There are two server products: QlikView Small Business Edition Server and QlikView Enterprise Edition Server.
QlikView Server provides:
multi-user work and optimized use of memory;
secure centralized storage;
centralized update of all of the QlikView applications;
a single point of access to QlikView-applications for all users;
remote working in networks Internet / Intranet through different types of QlikView Client;
authorization and authentication of users.
All these components collectively help in designing, developing, and implement the QlikView application.
