Introduction About the InduSoft Web Studio software components The InduSoft Web Studio software suite comprises several individual components that can be installed on different platforms to perform different functions. The architecture of your finished IWS project depends on which components you install, where you install them, and how you connect them to each other. The following table lists all of the available components. It is important to distinguish between the project development environment and the project runtime. You can use the project development environment to design, develop, troubleshoot, deploy, and monitor projects.

Remote Agent) • Project runtime (limited tags and drivers) • Agent to allow remote management Linux and others (i.e., platform-agnostic); for more information, contact us. Studio Database Gateway (StADOSvr) Enables communication between the project runtime and external databases, including Historian and most ADO.NET-compatible databases. Should be installed separately when using EmbeddedView or CEView, because most ADO.NET data providers are not available on Windows Embedded. Must be installed separately when using IoTView, because Studio Database Gateway runs only on Windows.
• Windows • Windows Server • Windows Embedded Standard • Windows Embedded Compact Web Tunneling Gateway (WTG) Enables a public-facing web server to pass data between the project runtime and project viewers, when the project runtime is located on a secure, private network. • Internet Information Services (IIS) for Windows Mobile Access Runtime Enables the project runtime to serve HTML5- enhanced project screens to web browsers and mobile devices. • Internet Information Services (IIS) for Windows • any CGI-enabled web server (e.g., Apache) Secure Viewer (a.k.a. InduSoft Thin Client) Project viewer, as a standalone program.
