- HTML5 WebUI (for M4 Servers): The WebUI has been updated eliminating dependencies on flash and providing an updated user interface and exeperience.
- HTML5 vKVM (for M4 Servers): A new alternative to the Java vKVM, the new HTML5 vKVM provides remote console connectivity with enhanced functionality including chat, embedded server power controls and screen capture capabilities.
