Glu-On^® is designed to run on Windows, Linux and embedded OS. Glu-On^® provides an XML interface that enables access from inside or outside a web browser.

Glu-On^® not only works with the more traditional XFS standard and JXFS which is the global standard for interfacing with the peripheral devices typically found in self-service terminals (like ATMs and bank branches) for the financial industry (XFS libraries are an open standard for developing hardware independent applications). In addition, Glu-On^® supports other standards – contact Infonox for more details.

An advanced feature of Glu-On^® is device control and management. Glu-On^® device support consists of a suite of controls that access the hardware using XFS or a variety of libraries including native. An outcome of this flexibility is that applications written with Glu-On^® are portable between ATMs from various vendors without the need to rewrite them.

In addition to the device support, Glu-On^® also provides a suite of "self-service" components that are implemented as events. These higher-level application components use Glu-On^® proprietary software, allowing meta application logic.

These controls provide a range of features such as tracing and watchdog services to make it easier to develop new ATM / kiosk applications. For one, Glu-On^® acts as a conduit for autonomic healing. It has self-healing rules and actions that contribute to higher robustness of the self-service application. Apart from healing, Glu-On^® technical components include 'store and forward' functionality that ensures that event data is not lost in the event of any interruptions in data porting. Glu-On^® also incorporates detailed journals and logs of each event at the device level.
