JBoss Operations Network (or JBoss ON or JON) is free software/open-source Java EE-based network management software. JBoss Operations Network is part of the JBoss Enterprise Middleware portfolio of software.^[2] JBoss ON is an administration and management platform for the development, testing, deployment, and monitoring of the application lifecycle.^[3] Because it is Java-based, the JBoss application server operates cross-platform: usable on any operating system that supports Java. JBoss ON was developed by JBoss, now a division of Red Hat.

JBoss ON provides performance, configuration, and inventory management in order to deploy, manage, and monitor the JBoss middleware portfolio, applications, and services.^[4]

JBoss ON provides management of the following:^[3]

• Discovery and inventory
• Configuration management
• Application deployment
• Perform and schedule actions on servers, applications and services
• Availability management
• Performance management
• Provisioning (IT)

JBoss ON is the downstream of RHQ^[5] (see also section Associated Acronyms).

The various JBoss application platforms are open source, but Red Hat charges to provide a support subscription for JBoss Enterprise Middleware.^[6]
