Create a standalone analytics platform using Qlik

[DataScem]

Hello all, I recognize this must be a very basic question... I would like to understand if it's possible to create a standalone analytics platform using Qlik, and if so, how.

In other words, I would like to make apps available either online through a website (Saas model) or offline as an executable (for example running on a local computer for demo purposes). 

I found the following pages for an online implementation, but have not found anything as far as an exe (I'm sure there is something already). I would appreciate a brief explanation in simple words on how to make this happen and if for the Saas website integration is Windows Server the only MS option or Windows 10 works as well (the page is archived, so I guess something may have changed https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/2.0/Subsystems/Installation/Content/Introduction/system-requiremen...)

Thank you all in advance for your patience and help!

For the online implementation, basically you will integrate a webpage with the Qlik Sense APIs, using web technologies - HTML, Javascript and CSS and more.

For the offline implementation, you can use the .Net SDK, more info here.

In both cases, you will need to have a Qlik Sense server on the backend to provide the analytics features to the frontend - a WebPage or an .EXE.

I agree with @fosuzuki answer above.
To your question about OS, will only support windows servers for production environments. It is possible to run Qlik Sense Enterprise on a Windows 10 computer for demo and small scale testing purposes.

An other alternative solution is to work with Qlik's multi cloud. If you're planning for a SAAS service then this might be a good idea. You can use will own cloud, then you don't need to worry about any hardware, OS or intensive. Or if you use your own cloud servers, e.g. in AWS, you will be deploying Qlik Sense using containers on Linux servers.

The final alternative is to use Qlik Core. I'm not an expert on it, but I it's worth mentioning. If you want to display pure Qlik apps or objects then it is not an option, no GUI is provided. Qlik core is an alternative if you just need the engine to process your data (using the APIs) and are willing to create everything else your self.
Check out Qlik Core's web site: https://core.qlik.com

Thanks a lot, Fosuzuki, I will look into the link to learn more about the offline implementation methods.

Hi Vegar, Thank you for your reply. I would appreciate if you could give me more information on how to get started with my Win10 configuration for a demo or small scale testing as you suggest.

To develop the application you need an Qlik Sense Desktop https://www.qlik.com/us/try-or-buy/download-qlik-sense . With the desktop you can also work with all development using the APIs into applications.

When you want to add more users or work with security you would need a licensed Qlik Sense Enteprise.

Both the desktop and the server can be intalled on a win 10 machine and for laboration purposes the installation is quite simple, just follow the documentation at http://help.qlik.com
