Tier | Description |
|---|---|
Data tier | Stores definitions and data for Smart IT. |
Server tier | Processes the data it receives from Smart IT clients, and passes the data to the database server to be stored. |
Web tier | Serves as a repository for web applications. Displays the appropriate web page to an authorized user. |
Client tier | Enables different clients to access and interact with Smart IT data. |

Mid Tier architecture for Progressive Web Application
Mid Tier is capable of rendering a progressive web application (PWA) for a custom application. The following image represents the architecture of Mid Tier that involves a cross-launch from Smart IT.
As part of the new architecture, the Mid Tier backend is used to leverage its generic and AR System metadata-driven implementation, and the client-side rendering logic is changed to produce a user interface and experience that is similar to that of Smart IT.The core business logic and functional logic including Role Based Access Control (RBAC) exists in the BMC Helix ITSM application workflows. The ITSM data model also exists in the AR System with the business logic in filters. Smart IT and Mid Tier continue to work until the Progressive Web Application (PWA) technology completely replaces their functionality.
