What is JetStream Finale Controller?

A few months ago, we started a sign-up on the JetStreamFinale.com website for people who were interested in the JetStream project, and the response had been amazing.

However, over the last few months we have received a handful of emails from people indicating that what JetStream does, how it works, what tools are required to run it are not completely understood by everyone.

So, I thought I would take a stab here at clearing up any mystery of what JetStream Finale Controller is, in advance of our planned July 1st release.
