Web clients

The web clients are used to communicate and interact with Qlik Sense sites.

Hub

The hub is used to access and publish apps in Qlik Sense. The hub runs in a web browser, so no software installation is required.

Once established, the hub traffic only involves a rim node (unless the site is a single node site) and the hub.

The Qlik Management Console (QMC) is used for configuration and administration of a Qlik Sense site.

The QMC only communicates logically with the central node. This means that:

The QMC always uses the Qlik Sense Proxy Service (QPS) on the central node.
For maximum performance within a multi-node site, it is recommended not to allow any user traffic on the central node.
