CenterView Architecture
Overview
There are several questions that any architect or technology advisor asks about a new system during the evaluation process:
- How will it fit into our organization and technology stack?
- How will it fit with our security model?
- What other systems will it be inter-operating with?
- What are the touch points to other systems?
- What kind of resources will it require?
- How extensible is it?
- Is there an architecture diagram?
This paper is meant as a quick, architectural overview of Corda CenterView™ and will try to answer all of these questions and other common questions. This paper is intended for a technical evaluator or system architect and therefore, assumes a fairly technical background. However, it does not delve into the fine details of implementation. If more details are needed in specific areas, please contact Corda directly.
Corda CenterView Components
Corda CenterView is made up of several applications:
- CenterView Builder is a desktop application written in Java, which is used to design and create the dashboard applications. Because it is a Java® application, it can run on Windows®, Mac OS/X®, Linux® and other operating systems for which Java is available.
- CenterView Server is a server application written in Java which runs in a Java web application server. This is the main CenterView application which serves up the dashboards as browser based applications.
- CenterView Administrator is a server application written in Java, which also runs in a Java web application server. The Administrator is used to configure and manage one or more CenterView Servers. It is recommended that this application be installed on a secure server, different than the CenterView Server in production installations.
- Corda Mobile is a specialized mobile application written for the Apple iPhone®, which allows access to CenterView dashboards on the iPhone. Other mobile devices can access CenterView dashboards if they have web browser functionality.
The majority of this paper will focus on CenterView Server and CenterView Administrator. To download the paper please click on the icon below.
