All of Altair Accelerator's products are based on a client/server architecture to support concurrent activities, team coordination, distributed data management, and distributed processing. The program vovserver runs in the background as a service to implement the main product features. It is the server.

Other programs may run as background daemons to help vovserver provide specialized features or actions. The set of daemon programs form a working server system that may be referred to as the vovserver.

The total number of clients that can connect concurrently to vovserver depends on the maximum available "descriptors", which can reach up to thousands for modern hardware.

The vovserver manages the dependency graph of jobs and files that is the flow data, and is responsible for the scheduling and dispatching of jobs in the proper sequence.
