Feature	Benefit
Client Independence	The storing and processing of 3D content is done entirely on the server, liberating the client from needing additional storage, memory, CPU, or GPU power.
Mobility	Handheld devices can manipulate the same massive datasets as workstations, bandwidth and distance being equal.
Scalable Applications	Server resources scale economically to meet the data size, performance and image quality needs of applications. Data size is limited only by server memory, as a native 64-bit architecture, extensive multithreading, and efficient process distribution efficiently handle scenes of virtually any size.
Scalable Access	Server-side session management allows users to begin where they left off when changing client locations, share scene changes and comments with other users, or engage in collaborative sessions to experience what others see.
Asset Re-Use	3D content and applications can be reused directly from the design or manufacturing process and PLM databases.
Security	Server-side storage of 3D content inherently protects 3D intellectual property. Clients receive only bitmap representations of the 3D content they are interacting with.
Visual Quality	Full image quality spectrum and multiple rendering options.
Full Extensibility	Developers can enhance and extend the system at every level through a comprehensive extensible environment.
