Deployment Diagram
This diagram shows the concept behind Deskscape. The J2EE Compliant App Server is in a sense the brain of Deskscape. It deploys the Deskscape Application and the Web Interfaces, receives any changes made to the information inside of these, and then stores these changes to the Secure Data Server. The information is then backed up on another Data Server in a different location.
