The Arellia Management Server (AMS) runs on Windows-based servers. It comprises a number of extensible .NET components that run on Internet Information Services (IIS), along with agent components that install as a service on the managed computers.

- SQL Database (if used locally)
- IIS
- Microsoft Web Platform Installer
- AMS
