What is ExpressCluster X SingleServerSafe?
ExpressCluster X SingleServerSafe software configuration
ExpressCluster X SingleServerSafe consists of following three software applications:

ExpressCluster Server
This is a main module of ExpressCluster X SingleServerSafe. Install it on the server.

ExpressCluster WebManager
This is a tool to manage ExpressCluster X SingleServerSafe operations.
It uses a Web browser as a user interface. The WebManager is incorporated into the
ExpressCluster Server and therefore does not have to be installed.

ExpressCluster Builder (Builder)
This is a tool for creating the configuration data of ExpressCluster X SingleServerSafe.
There are two versions. The online version Builder runs in the configuration mode of the
WebManager, and the offline version Builder is installed individually in a management
terminal. The online version Builder is incorporated in the WebManager. The Builder also
uses a Web browser as a user interface the same way as the WebManager.

The ExpressCluster X Builder and the WebManager are Java applets that run on Java VM. They
can run on any machine in which the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed.
In other words, once you install the JRE on a server on which ExpressCluster X SingleServerSafe
is installed, you can use the Builder and WebManager on that server.
