## Typical installation

Typical ToolsNet 8 installations are structured as shown in the image in Standalone installation; one server running ToolsNet 8 applications and one database server hosting the ToolsNet database.

The relationships between the separate modules in ToolsNet:

- ToolsNet clients can access the server via a web browser.

- The server also runs the various data collection services, which obtain the data from the controllers and save results on the database module.

- The Internet Information Service displays the results on a webpage.
