The high-level, core components in the MashZone NextGen platform are two web applications: the MashZone NextGen Hub, where users create dashboards, mashables, mashups and apps; and the AppDepot, where users find and work with published apps in desktop browsers.

In addition, MashZone NextGen contains the MashZone NextGen Server, the MashZone NextGen Repository and the MashZone NextGen Analytics In-Memory Stores to process mashables, mashups and apps at runtime and support creation and management of these artifacts.

Extensions and add-ons for MashZone NextGen are presented later in this introduction.
