z/Scope Anywhere is based on a 3-tier architecture:
The client:
HTML5-capable Web Browser
The server:
z/Scope Anywhere Server
The host:

How it Works
The remote user connects to the z/Scope Anywhere server using any HTML5 compliant browser. Once the connection is established the server will interpret and send commands to the specific host/protocol, and send back the results after converting the updated screens to native web structures.
