Overview System Architecture
The following overview shows all relations between different parts of the software including the FTP-server for updates at Stöhr + Sauer.
The server part on the right side can be hosted by a single server or on three different servers. In case the program and data parts get separated it can be even four servers.
Local installations for single users can install all components to a workstation.
The used ports are displayed as well.
