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

The Spotfire® Server is the central component of the Spotfire® environment, to which the Spotfire® clients can connect. Multiple nodes can be installed and connected to Spotfire® Server. The Spotfire® Web Player service and the Spotfire® Automation Services service, are installed on nodes to enable the use of Spotfire web clients and the running of Spotfire® Automation Services jobs. The data function services (the Spotfire® Enterprise Runtime for R - Server Edition (a/k/a the TERR™ service), the Spotfire® Service for R, and the Spotfire® Service for Python) 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.
