The runtime landscape includes multiple components that are part of or interact with Unwired Platform components to provide the platform mobility solution. These components include: Unwired Server, the Data tier, Relay Server, and Afaria Server.
Unwired Server
As the runtime server, Unwired Server handles enterprise data source and application access, communication between the backend data source and the mobile device, security, transaction processing, and scheduling.
Data Tier
The data tier comprises multiple databases installed for and used by Unwired Server and the management console within the runtime landscape.
Relay Server
Relay Server enables secure, load-balanced communication between mobile devices and Unwired Server. Across-the-firewall deployment occurs without opening any internal firewall ports for enterprise mobilization and ensures that data is secure while in transit.
Afaria Server
As a separately licensed and installed component, Afaria Server provides enterprise level device application deployment and device management. Integrated with Unwired Server, the solution supports end-to-end management and security of devices, and over-the-air (OTA) and push-based deployment of device applications.
