Briefly, how is VIBE organized?
The software can be deployed using one of two architectures: client/server (Workgroup Edition) or client-only (Desktop Edition). The multi-tiered design of the software allows the processing components to be isolated from the business logic and storage format of the data. The Workgroup Edition can be scaled and tuned within the middle layer to significantly improve performance with few or no changes to the clients while the Desktop provides single-user bioinformatics computing with simple setup and configuration.
