Enkompass is cPanel's new Control panel designed for Windows
server 2008 that will utilize Microsoft IIS7. This will allow
clients to use ASP, .NET, PHP, PERL and many other languages.
The Microsoft environment will also allow clients to use MySQL
and MSSQL databases while keeping WHM/cPanel's very familiar
control panel layout.
Enkompass also runs on a multi server farm, so if the mail
server were to ever go down all of your other services would
still remain available. Enkompass is also able to reconfigure
itself to serve sites off other servers if any issues arise on
the web server.
The Enkompass interface mirrors that of cPanel/WHM for Linux.
This allows you to understand both products without having to
relearn their daily workflow. While many features of Enkompass
are the same as cPanel/WHM for Linux, features incompatible with
Windows have been removed, and some Windows-only features have
been added.
