Board architecture

Hi all
  I have a doubt on board application architecture-- i read that there are 2 architectural options are there for deploying board application.
1)Centralized-- we will have 1 server, where all applications will be created and developed. every user connect through the LAN to that server and can access all the applications present in that server( for this every user should have stand alone license installed on their machine).
2)Distributed-- decentralize applications but still provide every user in the company access to any Capsule and database, regardless of where it is held (be it on a local or remote server).
  I didn't understand distributed architecture.. can someone please explain me how it is possible to decentralize the applications but still provide every user to access all the databases and capsules?

Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

     

    maybe it's easier to distinguish in this way:

    Centralized: One BOARD Server hosting every Application/DB

    De-Centralized: different BOARD Server hosting Different Application

     

    from this point it's only Administration and Governance

  • Hi  Björn

     Thanks for your quick reply. In de-centralized again the users want to connect to different applications they need LAN right?

    Hi,

     

    yes if they want to connect to different servers they need a license on this server and they should be able to connect
