Real client software
Allows fast client and desktop software to be downloaded and run locally. ClientFX applications are desktop applications with all the advantages of online or offline use, and can be delivered from the Internet so they are always up to date.

Browser compatible
ClientFX includes a plug-in that allows applications to be launched by clicking a link in a browser. Click-to-run applications may also become resident on the desktop using InstallFX.

Secure from the ground up
The dotFX framework is built on a coherent security model designed from the start as a core part of the dotFX architecture.

Automatic updates
When an fx:// application or web link is clicked the application runs locally. After running the first time it is cached locally. When an application changes or is upgraded, or features are added, just those changes are updated.

Install only once
Applications are always up to date, but so is ClientFX. dotFX technology is transparently updated and so the framework never needs to be explicitly re-installed. There will never be a player-versus-application compatibility problem. Installer applications made by InstallFX never need to be updated even between releases.

Cross Platform
Completely cross platform. ClientFX works on Windows, OS X, Linux and BSD. Applications can be written once and be delivered to all clients using ClientFX.

Client power
ServerFX enables the power of the client, delivering code to the desktop. Client richness and intimacy is mirrored with scale on the server. Only necessary load is executed on the server, while the client does the heavy lifting.
