## What is ClearML Server?
The **ClearML Server** is the backend service infrastructure for ClearML. It allows multiple users to collaborate and
manage their experiments by working seamlessly with the ClearML Python package and [ClearML Agent](../clearml_agent.md).
ClearML Server is composed of the following:
* Web server including the [ClearML Web UI](../webapp/webapp_overview.md), which is the user interface for tracking, comparing, and managing experiments.
* API server which is a RESTful API for:
* Documenting and logging experiments, including information, statistics, and results.
* Querying experiments history, logs, and results.
* File server which stores media and models making them easily accessible using the ClearML Web UI.
The [**ClearML Hosted Service**](https://app.clear.ml) is essentially the ClearML Server maintained for you.

The ClearML Web UI is the ClearML user interface and is part of ClearML Server.
Use the ClearML Web UI to:
* Track experiments
* Compare experiments
* Manage experiments
For detailed information about the ClearML Web UI, see [User Interface](../webapp/webapp_overview.md).
ClearML Server also comes with a [services agent](../clearml_agent.md#services-mode) preinstalled.
## Deployment
The ClearML Server can be deployed in any of the formats listed below. Once deployed, configure the server for web login
authentication, sub-domains, and load balancers, and use any of its many configuration settings.
**To deploy your own ClearML Server:**
1. Deploy ``clearml-server`` using any of the available formats, which include:
* Pre-built [AWS EC2 AMIs](clearml_server_aws_ec2_ami.md)
* Pre-built [Google Cloud Platform custom images](clearml_server_gcp.md)
* Pre-built Docker images for [Linux](clearml_server_linux_mac.md), [macOS](clearml_server_linux_mac.md), and
[Windows 10](clearml_server_win.md)
* [Kubernetes using Helm](clearml_server_kubernetes_helm.md)
1. Optionally, [configure ClearML Server](clearml_server_config.md) for additional features, including sub-domains and load balancers,
web login authentication, and the non-responsive task watchdog.
