Loupe is a web-application that visualizes the measurements and it has a dual-role in the sense
of connectivity: Loupe acts as a client to both the Carat server and DB2 and as a server to the
browser clients. The actual rendering of Sapphire results happens in browsers (separate
chapter below). In the current implementation Carat and Loupe applications are inseparable as
they run in the same host in all supported setups.
In the current implementation Carat and IBM DB2 applications are inseparable as they run in
the same host in all supported setups. The connection between Carat client and DB2 is secured
by medium-level encryption implemented by IBM.
7signal installers contain the installation medium for DB2 and the setup of DB2 is automated
by 7signal installation scripts. It is possible to change the defaults during installation time.
