Applications

Application software, or an application, is computer software designed to perform single or multiple, related specific tasks for the user. This is in contrast to system software and middleware, which manages the computer itself. In the data centre environment, applications range from virtualisation software, through hardware and environment monitoring and analysis, to storage and security software.
