You do not even have to worry about assigning permissions. SCInterface dynamically scales the access to specific application based on the rights that you assign your users.

Tired of having to open a new web browser window for each server that your favorite web hosting control panel is managing? SCInterface for Servers is a distributed web-based control panel that can control everything that most web hosting control panels can manage - but more. SCInterface is not a competitor to these control panels, but it compliments the existing web control panels by providing you with a high-level overview of all of your systems. It can even control custom applications in addition to the applications that the web control panels manage!

Architecture

SCInterface has a unique architecture that provides optimal flexibility. We consider flexibility a fundamental component and it encompasses the entire product from our software architecture to the licensing model. The software architecture for SCInterface is simplified below by dividing it into three core components. The diagram below depicts the essential operation of each component, providing a clear vision why SCInterface is #1 in server control panel market.

UI (User Interface)
SCM (SCInterface Control Manager)
SC (SCInterface Controller)

The main objective of the SCInterface architecture is to have little or no impact on the performance of the server, while maintaining an easy to use interface and ability to manage many servers through a single user interface. Traditional control panels do not recognize that performance of the server is the most critical issue when maintaining a server.

Accessible Server Control

Also affectionately called 'skin-terface' by our developers, the term interface was used to highlight the unique and robust capabilities of SCInterface. From the Graphical User Interface (GUI) perspective, SCInterface provides an server control panel that can be accessed from nearly anywhere through any type of device. From the web, desktop or PDAs, the quantity and type of interfaces to which the SCInterface architecture can be ported are limitless. Regarding control, the SC provides the critical interaction to control any application regardless of the platform, location or capabilities. These interfaces provide ASPs with the proven infrastructure to create or expand a premier server hosting business.

Distributed Server Control

Easily integrate automated provisioning of servers using the SCInterface PHP API based on the SCIML (SCInterface Control Interface Markup Lanuage) protocol. SCInterface is the complete solution for any organization with the need for a comprehensive way to manage their hosting needs within a large data center or distributed throughout the world. A single interface can be accessed from anywhere to configure or maintain any server located anywhere in the world.

Secure Server Control

Using XML and AES encryption techniques with the SCML (SCInterface Control Markup Lanuage) protocol, SCInterface provides a robust solution to address even the most security conscious organizations. The use of built-in security groups and permissions along with the SCInterface three-tier architecture provides a solution that can be balanced across the entire organization by providing a flexible architecture while maintaining security.

Off-The-Shelf Solution

You can use our off-the-shelf software to provide a hosting solution that your customers can use immediately. The actual interface is completely customizable in terms of layout, logo placement, and color selection. You can integrate the Interface into any network quickly and efficiently.
