The Foglight command-line interface lets you automate your business logic by writing scripts, deploy and create agents, install and activate cartridges, create and manage users, manage licenses and many other tasks.

Prospects and customers from all over Europe and the Middle East came together to discuss application/database management and Windows infrastructure management. Their profile was varied – representing finance, manufacturing, telcoms, retail and transport.
