Notably, Installatron Plugin was first to provide control panel independent application automation, first to support Microsoft Windows servers, first to offer application backup and restore, automatic upgrade, clone/duplicate and migration functionality, first to support multi-lingual applications and international domains, and first to offer an open application packaging SDK. Installatron Server was first to provide a comprehensive API and the ability to deploy applications over a standard FTP, NFS, or SSH layer.
