• You can create data sources, schedule tasks, apply hot fixes, clear caches, and compare settings across a cluster of ColdFusion servers.

Enhanced Adobe Flash Platform integration:

• Take advantage of faster Flash Remoting to increase application performance.
• Use ColdFusion as a Service to speed up RIA development by easily accessing many existing enterprise services via AMF without writing a single line of CFML.
