High-level Functions 
--------------------

The |VOSS Automate| platform is an Infrastructure As A Service layer (IAAS) built on top of Ubuntu Linux.

This platform layer supports the following high-level functions:

* Installation, upgrades
* Application and process manipulation
* Clustering of multiple nodes with High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) capabilities
* Backup creation and restore
* Scheduling of tasks
* Security implementation
* System diagnostics

Both the platform and application are designed as a loose collection of processes which can be deployed 
in a wide range of topologies. Individual nodes can be clustered and provisioned together to provide High Availability 
and Disaster Recovery.
