PontusVision is a core services automation tool that covers design, configuration management, deployment, and management of apps. It focuses on low latency environments, but can be used to manage any IT system. Its unique selling points are the following: 1) thread management - allows users to simulate the latency of an application before deploying it. Tests with real applications have shown a 20x reduction in latency with no changes in code.

2) Very easy to install - There are no external dependencies other than Java 7 required. 3) Compatible with other deployment tools - you can use as much or as little of PontusVision as possible, and a few users have easily integrated with tools such as Puppet and CFEngine.
