A *server* allows clients to access the data. The Connectware already includes a
MQTT broker which makes all data available in the internal MQTT API. Additional
*server* resources can offer more choices to access the data, such as through
OPC UA or RESTful interaction.

The data in the server resource is organized in terms of :ref:`node
<user/resources/nodes>` resources, which are defining the available data and its
structure.

The Servers pages shows an overview of all active and inactive servers.
