Qlik Sense Desktop vs Server

• Desktop

– Portable

– Shareable via Qlik Cloud

– Free for personal and internal business use

– Local development

– No security • Server

– Multi user experience

– Collaboration

– Server based development

– Governed deployment

– Expandable platform

– Security

Synchronisation

• Nodes are independent for resilience

• Nodes only get what they need

• Sites can span different countries and

still be managed in one place

• Licences are synchronized

Qlik Sense Distributed Architecture

• Qlik Sense Desktop

• Qlik Sense Server Architecture

• Distributed Architecture (Multi node)

• Qlik Deployment Console

• Application Life Cycle

• What is Qlik Deployment Console?

– Setting up server instances with one click based on templates

– Global monitoring across all Sense sites and instances

– Mixed environment with virtual and physical nodes

– Transfer content between sites and environments (Dev / Test / Prod)

• Supports to date Amazon (AWS), Vmware (vSphere) and physical servers.

• Qlik Deployment Console is separately installed

Qlik Sense Application Life cycle

• Qlik Sense platform is modular and expandable

• Start with a minimum and expand when needed

• Nodes are independent for resilience but are synchronized

• Create rules for selective synchronization between nodes

• Promote apps between sites/environments via the Qlik Deployment Console

• Mix environments (virtual, physical and cloud) are managed and deployed

via the Qlik Deployment Console
