HELIOS Tool Server Examples

HELIOS Tool Server, which is new in the HELIOS UB+ product generation, allows integrating remote applications / tools to be used by a main server. Certain applications and technologies are only available on a special platform. Instead of reinventing these required applications and technologies, Tool Server makes them remotely available on any major server platform. Tool Server provides the infrastructure and already includes several useful tools – additional tools can be added by the user.
