Open Source Software

Opensource SoftwareOpen Source Software is a revolution as important as the Web itself.

The good news is that this revolution benefits the little guy.  Suddenly, small businesses and organizations can leverage tools as sophisticated as those of a Fortune 500 company, but at a fraction of the cost.

What is Open Source Software?

Open source is a development method for software that harnesses the power of distributed peer review and transparency of process.   The promise of open source is better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility, lower cost, and an end to predatory vendor lock-in.  

With Open Source Software, you can now benefit from the collaborative effort of tens of thousands of programmers and The Open Source Initiativethe unique customizations that are made for real businesses.

Why?  Because Open Source software is created and managed by a collaborative community in which all the software is free and openly accessible to use and customize.   The only requirement to participate in this community is that whatever you modify is also "open" - that is can be used by that community.  Everybody wins.

We focus on solutions built on the following platforms.  Take a peak - you'll be amazed!

Linux

OK, so this is in here really as an homage.  Of course we support Linux.  Nobody in their right mind would serve a Web site on anything else.

Our Web hosting is provided by a top tier  hosting company, A2Hosting.   Racks of linux servers, redundant data centers, automatic back-up, 24 x 7 support.  All the things you - and we - need to ensure 99.99% uptime and reliability.

But that's all part of a bigger picture called Cloud Computing.
