Editor's Notes
- On our web-site you can create your own virtual servers with just one click, and they are instantly on-line. This is how a virtual server is represented in your browser. You can quickly create accounts for your employees, customers or partners and you also have built-in tools for auditing and backup.
- By clicking on the engine icon you can open the modeling environment and define the information to be managed on the server by drawing just business concepts like “equipment”, or “sparePart” on a single, very intuitive diagram.
- When you start the server the first time both the database and the application are generated on the fly using open-source technologies and they are transparently installed on our servers so that they are immediately available on the web.
