\quoting{Erlang seems to be tailor-made for writing stable, robust servers. ---
Peter Saint-Andr\'e, Executive Director of the Jabber Software Foundation}
\ejabberd{} is:
\begin{itemize}
\item \marking{Multiplatform:} \ejabberd{} runs under Microsoft Windows and Unix derived systems such as Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD.
\item \marking{Cross-platform:} \ejabberd{} runs under Microsoft Windows and Unix derived systems such as Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD.
\item \marking{Distributed:} You can run \ejabberd{} on a cluster of machines and all of them will serve the same \Jabber{} domain(s). When you need more capacity you can simply add a new cheap node to your cluster. Accordingly, you do not need to buy an expensive high-end machine to support tens of thousands concurrent users.
\item \marking{Fault-tolerant:} You can deploy an \ejabberd{} cluster so that all the information required for a properly working service will be replicated permanently on all nodes. This means that if one of the nodes crashes, the others will continue working without disruption. In addition, nodes also can be added or replaced ``on the fly''.

This means that if one of the nodes crashes, the others will continue working without disruption. In addition, nodes also can be added or replaced `on the fly'.
\item \marking{Administrator Friendly:} \ejabberd{} is built on top of the Open Source Erlang. As a result you do not need to install an external database, an external web server, amongst others because everything is already included, and ready to run out of the box. Other administrator benefits include:
\begin{itemize}
\item Comprehensive documentation.\moreinfo{ --- You can start in the \footahref{http://ejabberd.jabber.ru/book}{ejabberd Book}.}
\item Straightforward installers for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.\improved{}\moreinfo{ --- (\footahref{http://ejabberd.jabber.ru/screenshots-linux-installer}{Screenshots}).}
\item Web interface for administration tasks.\moreinfo{ --- With HTTPS secure access. \footahref{http://ejabberd.jabber.ru/online-demo-webadmin}{Demo}.}
\item Shared Roster Groups.\moreinfo{ --- The administrator can setup a common list of \Jabber{} users for all users on the server. Those users are virtually added to all rosters. They cannot be removed, but can be renamed or moved into different roster groups. Does not require client implementation. Not related to \jepref{0144} (Roster Item Exchange).\footahref{http://ejabberd.jabber.ru/screenshots-shared-roster-groups}{Screenshots})}
\item Command line administration tool.\improved{}\moreinfo{ --- Some basic administration tasks can be acomplished using the command line: register/remove users, backup/restore database, amongst others (\footahref{http://ejabberd.jabber.ru/screenshots-administration#ejabberdctl}{Screenshots}).}

\item Capability to send announce messages.\improved{}

\item \marking{Internationalized:} \ejabberd{} leads in internationalization. Hence it is very well suited in a globalized world. Related features are:

\item Support for \footahref{http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3490.txt}{IDNA}.

\begin{itemize}
\item Fully XMPP compliant \moreinfo{ --- ejabberd is fully compliant with XMPP Core 1.0 and XMPP IM 1.0. Check the \footahref{http://ejabberd.jabber.ru/protocols}{supported protocols}.}
