The gateway hosts:
Insight API
Insight App
Data Science API
Control Hub API
Control Hub App
APIs and apps are hosted on Internet Information Services (IIS) on a Windows operating system or Apache on Linux. The APIs are used by all apps that interact with Aiimi Insight Engine.
Aiimi provides a series of apps out of the box, these are single page apps that are HTML/CSS/JavaScript based. These apps are hosted on the same server as the API as they have a tiny resource need. They only need network bandwidth for the initial app download.
The gateway provides authentication and authorisation services controlling what users can do. The authorisation aspects control the functionality, data and document users can see. This is controlled through permissions trimming.
As standard the control hub communicates with all the repositories and agents. The Insight app also communicates with the repository, security agent and source agent. The communication with all components is through the gateway API.
