Open Source

We believe in making use of open source software and open standards where ever possible. This provides a significant cost saving to our clients while still providing them industry standard solutions.

Some of the open source software we use:

GNU / Linux – The free operating system for the base of all our servers. Stable, scalable and secure, the Linux operating system provides all the services a server needs at a fraction of the cost of other proprietary operating systems.

PHP - PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML. It generally runs on a web server, taking PHP code as its input and creating web pages as output. PHP is installed on more than 20 million websites and 1 million servers. It is also the most popular Apache module among computers using Apache as a web server.

Apache - The Apache HTTP Server, commonly referred to simply as Apache, is a web server notable for playing a key role in the initial growth of the World Wide Web. Since April 1996 Apache has been the most popular HTTP server on the World Wide Web. As of April 2008 Apache served 50.42% of all websites.

MySQL - MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS) which has more than 11 million installations. The program runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases.

Glassfish Application Server - GlassFish is an application server project by Sun Microsystems for the Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) platform.

Java - Java is a programming language originally developed by Sun Microsystems and released in 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform. The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture.
