Application Dashboard

Apache Tomcat, often referred to as Tomcat Server, is an open-source Java Servlet Container developed by the Apache Software Foundation. Tomcat implements several Java EE specifications including Java Servlet, JavaServer Pages (JSP), Java EL, and WebSocket, and provides a "pure Java" HTTP web server environment in which Java code can run.

 XenApp is application virtualization software produced by Citrix Systems that allows Windows applications to be accessed via individual devices from a shared server or cloud system.

XenDesktop is a desktop virtualization software platform that allows multiple users to access and run Microsoft Windows desktops that are installed at a centralized location separate from the devices from which they are being accessed.

MySQL is an open source Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) based on Structured Query Language (SQL).

IBM DB2 is a relational DBMS with integrated support for a number of NoSQL capabilities, including XML, graph store and Java Script Object Notation (JSON). Used by organizations of all sizes, DB2 provides a data platform for both transactional and analytical operations as well as continuous availability of data to keep transactional workflows and analytics operating efficiently.

 On the APPLICATION DASHBOARD page, you can view the monitoring parameters for the Tomcat by Apache, XenApp and XenDesktop by Citrix, My SQL, and IBM DB2.
