- 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.
- Predefined Workspaces, Situations, and More
  Every agent is designed to monitor specific attributes of an operating system or other type of software. With these attributes, come definitions for use with the Marvel Enterprise Portal functions.
