System Structure & Architecture<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>

One platform. Every device. Every infrastructure. HybridForms runs as a native app on iOS, Android and Windows \u2013 as well as a Progressive Web App (PWA) directly in the browser. The central server backend integrates flexibly into your IT landscape: on-premises or in the cloud, with Microsoft SQL Server or PostgreSQL.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

General System Structure & Concepts<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The system consists of two central components: the HybridForms Core Server<\/strong> as the central backend and the HybridForms Client Apps<\/strong> for iOS, Android, Windows and as a Progressive Web App (PWA) for web browsers.<\/p>\n

As a database backend, HybridForms supports both Microsoft SQL Server<\/strong> and PostgreSQL<\/strong> \u2013 operated on Windows Server, Linux, or in the Microsoft Azure Cloud<\/strong>. PostgreSQL offers a cost-efficient, open-source-based alternative for organisations that rely on vendor-independent infrastructure.<\/p>\n

A HybridForms Server Licence<\/strong> is required for operation. Every user of a client app additionally requires a User Licence (Client Access Licence \/ CAL)<\/strong>, which is centrally managed and administered on the HybridForms Core Server.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

HybridForms Core Server: Multi System Architecture<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The HybridForms Core Server supports a multi-system architecture (client, tenant). The HybridForms Server is available in three editions: Business, Enterprise and Operator Edition<\/strong>. By default, one system is operated; the Operator Edition also supports multiple systems (operator mode with tenants).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
