The TIBCO Spotfire® environment is installed and configured to enable users to analyze their data in the Spotfire® clients.

The TIBCO Spotfire® Server is the central component of the TIBCO Spotfire® environment, to which the Spotfire® clients can connect. Multiple nodes can be installed and connected to Spotfire® Server. The TIBCO Spotfire® Web Player service, TIBCO Spotfire® Automation Services, TIBCO® Enterprise Runtime for R - Server Edition (TERR service), and Spotfire® Service for Python are installed on nodes to enable the use of Spotfire web clients, the running of Spotfire® Automation Services jobs, and the TERR™ service or Spotfire Service for Python, which enable advanced statistical analysis in the clients. The server is connected to a Spotfire database that contains a user directory and stores analyses and configuration files. Entities in the Spotfire environment can be configured and monitored from a web-based Spotfire Server start page.
