The first thing a customer sees once logged into the application. The dashboard shows virtual machine command and control operations, VM repository operations and will log system errors. Service providers can add their own content using standard RSS feeds.

ECP includes an easy to use remote desktop and command line console system for easy access to VM's, even ones without networks connectivity.

ECP allows for users to scale up, and out by enabling for flexible hardware profiles that can be easily altered by a customer after a VM has been provisioned.

Seamless HA capabilities also ensure that a customer never loses a VM with VM's automatically reprovisioned to other physical hardware in the cloud upon any failures.

Customers can manage virtual applications through this easy to use interface. Start, stop and reboot virtual machines on any host, anywhere in the world, by selecting single VMs or groups of VMs.

The usage accounting screen includes a realtime view of a customer's cloud deployment relative to their purchased capacity (VMs, memory, CPUs, and storage), providing realtime insight into their private cloud.

Through the App Center, a service provider can publish pre-built cloud applications directly to customers, either for free or with an additional cost. Customers can directly provision VMs on the cloud from a library of pre-existing virtual application images. Customers can also package their existing VMs and upload to them to the cloud.

ECP enables security and privacy for each customer's virtual machine workloads using private per-customer VLANs. Once assigned one or more private VLANs, customers can manage the VLAN membership for each of their own VMs.

The Service Provider Edition's customer self-service interface is entirely themeable and brandable to reflect the service provider's branding and look & feel. Supports IE 6.0+, Firefox 2+, Safari 3.1+, Opera 9.0+ and Chrome 1.0.

ECP provides a simple and easy way to group machines via a user defined tags allowing VM's to be organized into multiple groups through a blog style tagging system.
