M-Business Admin Server (also referred to as the UI Server) – provides authorized administrators and users access to M-Business Server through a standard desktop web browser. Using this Web-based interface, administrators can manage users' access privileges, add and remove users, groups, and channels, modify conduit settings, and remotely add applications to mobile devices. Users also can use the interface to add personal channels, subscribe to public channels, manage group memberships, and view conduit options and synchronization histories.

M-Business Sync Server – handles requests from M-Business Client to perform synchronization functions. The Sync Server determines whether particular pages requested are to be obtained from the source Web server or from the shared cache on the Sync Server.

M-Business Server database – is where both the Admin Server and the Sync Server store information about users, groups, channels, conduit settings, server settings, and information about devices that have synchronized. M-Business Server ships with SQL Anywhere as its default database management software.

You can also integrate M-Business Server with an NT domain to authenticate and retrieve user and group information by communicating with the Primary or Backup Domain Controller (PDC and BDC) on NT, or the Domain Controller on Windows 2000 or Windows 2003. If M-Business Server is integrated with an NT domain, users are authenticated directly against the domain, not against information stored in the SQL Anywhere database.
