# GRIN-Global Community Edition Overview
|
|
|
|
|
|
**GG-CE** is deployed as a web application comprised as two main components: a *server* and a *client*. The server implements the main business logic and takes care of storing the application's data. The client provides the user interface to the user's browsers and communicates with the server to persist state.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The main interface is the GC-Client which is accessed through a web browser. The server does implement a user interface, but it is dedicated to administrative tasks performed by gene bank technicians and managers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The application user interface is divided into two distinct areas: a left *navigation pane* which contains a hierarchical list of commands and a right detail pane that displays the page corresponding to the selection in the left pane.
