• Scalable, dynamic application management, with plugging and component-based advantages.
• Application status reports, containing statistics and diagrams.
• Strong notification support for monitoring the states and conditions of your application's actions.
• Easy integration with your existing management solution.
• Straightforward
• Low time and cost at all implementation levels
