- Features
  The Marvel Enterprise Portal gives you a single point of control for managing the resources your applications rely on, including a range of operating systems, servers, databases, platforms, and web components. For example, a typical IT network might have a web server on Windows, an application server and database on UNIX, and a transaction processor on CICS® on the mainframe. The Marvel Enterprise Portal brings all these views together in a single window so that you can see when any aspect of your network is not working as expected. Your IBM Marvel Monitoring products use the portal interface with these major features, and you can find demos for many of them on developer works in the Media Gallery.

Client

The Marvel Enterprise Portal client is a Java-based user interface for viewing and monitoring your enterprise network. Depending on how it was installed, you can start Marvel Enterprise Portal as a desktop application, a web application through your browser, or Java Webstart, which downloads the installable software from the Marvel Enterprise Portal Server, installs it, and then makes it available as a desktop application.
