Niagara AX Framework Overview - Platforms

A platform is a computer that supports the Niagara AX framework. A platform is usually a Jace, Web Supervisor, or a Workstation.

Jace: A Jace is a type of server (perhaps with an embedded operating system) that is created specifically for the purposes of running Niagara AX stations.
Web Supervisor: Web Supervisors are enterprise servers that support the Niagara AX framework and run a Niagara Station whose purpose (among other things) is typically to gather data from other Niagara stations.
Workstation: Workstations are personal computers that typically run the Niagara AX Workbench and allow Niagara installation and (or) maintenance professionals to configure other Niagara platforms and stations. Workstations are also personal computers used by professional developers to create software applications for the Niagara AX framework (such as Niagara AX drivers).
