The LANUX™ Framework allows remote management and administration of system services for Linux servers and devices. Its easy to use Java-based, Web UI provides an intuitive Command Console from which the system administrators may configure services remotely. Server configuration settings are maintained in the LANUX™ datastore. The LANUX™ Framework Management Console may be run separately from the LANUX™ datastore server providing a superior business continuity solution. Administrators can access the console via secure SSL connection from any location, on any device equipped with a browser (all major browsers supported). At the core of the Framework lies the LANUX™ Messenger Module. The Messenger Module carries out all transactions and transports the confirmed settings, via encrypted connection, back to the Data-Store.
