<title>Server components</title> <h2>Server components</h2> <p> A BOINC server consists of the following components: <ul> <li> Database server <li> Scheduling server(s) <li> Web server(s) <li> Data server(s) </ul> These components may all run on a single host, or on separate hosts. Some of them, as indicated, may be replicated. <p> These components are described in detail in separate documents, which are required reading if you want to separate and/or replicate the components. To set up a basic server where all components run on a single host, you can use a simple <a href=single_host_server.html>server setup script</a>.
