# Ports

QlikView uses ports to communicate between web browsers (users) and servers, and between different services in single or multi-node deployments.

The following table provides an overview of the ports used in a QlikView deployment.

The following example shows the ports used to connect the different QlikView services. In a QlikView deployment, all these services can be installed on the same server (single-node deployment). Alternatively, you can decide to set up a multi-node deployment, and install different services on different servers. For further information about QlikView architecture and deployments, see [Architecture](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/qlikview/September2026/Subsystems/Server/Content/QV_Server/QlikView-Server/QVSRM_FunctionalArchitechture.htm) and [Deployment](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/qlikview/September2026/Subsystems/Server/Content/QV_Server/QlikView-Server/QVSRM_Deployment.htm) pages.

The following diagram shows the ports used for connecting the different services in a QlikView Server deployment (QV: QlikView).
