The VIP Server Controller is a desktop application that executes VIP jobs on a local or remote machine. The remote machine can be installed on the local network as a private cloud, or using a cloud provider like Azure or AWS.
The machine onto which the Server Controller is installed must be a Windows 64-bit machine. The Server can be triggered from the Command Line or using the desktop application installed on the machine which it is installed. Alternatively, jobs can be triggered on any machine from a pre-configured web portal, and can also be invoked from CI technologies like Jenkins.
