The PowerGadgets Mobile Architecture
PowerGadgets Mobile consists of three components:

  • The PowerGadgets Mobile Creator, a fully graphical authoring environment that allows the visual creation of dashboards
  • The PowerGadgets Mobile Server, a highly scalable server solution providing real time database access behind the corporate firewall and a vector-based graphics generation based on .NET
  • PowerGadgets Mobile Clients native to mobile devices operating systems used to manage and display a list of preferred dashboards and gadgets.

They interact as follows:

A PowerGadgets Mobile file (.pgf) is authored with the PowerGadgets Mobile Creator and saved on a web based application server behind the firewall as a standalone file in a specific folder with specific managed rights. Mobile devices provisioned with a PowerGadgets Mobile Client can point and access PowerGadgets Mobile files (.pgf). When accessed from a PowerGadgets

Mobile Client, the PowerGadgets Mobile Server will connect to the data source behind the firewall and populate gadgets and dashboards with real-time data and deliver the result to each client requesting the information.

Each of these requests corresponds to a session that will be handled by the application server in a separate application space making it possible to serve many devices at the same time.
