Deployment options
There are two types of dashboard deployment:
*Web-based: as a simple, thin-client Web page, as an applet, or as a Java Web Start application
*Local: as a locally-installed desktop application (the Dashboard Viewer) together with dashboard-specific files that the application can open
The following sections compare Web-based deployments with local deployments with regard to these factors:
*Authentication
*Authorization
*Data protection
*Scalability
The section Dashboard support for Apple iPad discusses iPad deployments.
The section on the Data server and display server discusses some considerations that are relevant to choosing among Web-based deployment options.
