1 Installation Planning<br />
1.1 Overview<br />
<strong>TIBCO</strong> <strong>Spotfire</strong> <strong>Server</strong> provides basic infrastructure, which is used by the <strong>TIBCO</strong><br />
<strong>Spotfire</strong> and <strong>TIBCO</strong> <strong>Spotfire</strong> Web Player clients.<br />
<strong>TIBCO</strong> <strong>Spotfire</strong> <strong>Server</strong> has functionality for identifying users and assigning<br />
privileges, serves as a central storage for program updates, is a central repository for<br />
analysis files, and connects to different external data sources.<br />
<strong>TIBCO</strong> <strong>Spotfire</strong> <strong>Server</strong> can be installed on one machine, or be clustered on several<br />
machines, thus providing load balancing and failover support.<br />

The <strong>Spotfire</strong> <strong>Server</strong> serves requests from clients while communicating with the<br />
database. It may also redirect authentication requests from clients to an authentication<br />
service, if present. Read more about authentication services in the chapter<br />
“Authentication and User Directory” on page 65. The <strong>Spotfire</strong> database holds<br />
information about its environment and users. Also, users can store analyses in the<br />
databases and share them with others.<br />
