The application management lifecycle can be difficult to 

manage, but JBoss ON enables easy management of an 
enterprise application environment. Application develop-
ers, administrators, and operations managers deal with 
complexity when working with multi-tier applications that 
run on web servers, application servers, and enterprise 
service bus. With JBoss ON they can do consistent applica-

tion deployments and configurations that result in a more 

secure environment and better application performance. 
Get visibility into your application's health and generate 
diagnostic and historical data that drives improvements or 
resolves technical issues. And JBoss ON's open standards 
support and plug-in framework means that your applica-

tion management platform is extensible, customizable, and 

future-proofed. JBoss ON delivers operational depend-
ability and manageability with the reduced costs of open 
source. With JBoss ON’s plug-in architecture, JBoss ON 
plug-in packs for EAP, SOA-P, and EWS can be individually 
added to  the JBoss ON management server to control and 
manage one or all application tiers from a single JBoss ON 
console.

JBoss middleware product (such as EWS, EAP, and SOA-P), 

a separate JBoss ON plug-in pack is available. Using the 
appropriate plug-in pack, coordinate the many stages of 
application lifecycle and expose a cohesive view of your

The JBoss ON Server, agents, and modules deliver inven-

JBoss-based middleware applications through a centrally 

managed model. Enterprise access control offers the nec-

systems and share vital information and statistics through

And because it’s fully integrated with JBoss Operations 

Network, you can perform control actions such as starting, 
stopping, or re-starting applications or servers--all through 
the same console.

With JBoss ON, you can: 

Auto-discover application resources: operating systems,

applications, and services.

From one console, store, edit, and set application

Remotely deploy applications.

Assign roles for users to enable fine-grained access
