Servers
All of our server nodes are run in a XCP-NG virtual machine, so that we may move its location quickly should a problem arise with a chassis. Inside the virtual machine, we run a LAMP (Linux Apache, MySQL PHP/Perl/Java/Ajax) setup in a multi-master mesh cluster. Alma Linux is our choice of operating system for stability and security.
Software
The software is written in a number of languages to form a seamless web application. All our modules are programmed in Java, Ajax, Perl and PHP. This means that the software sits on our clustered web portal making it accessible from any mobile device, PC, Mac or server.
Software Development
We have a number environments on our server cluster that are used during the life cycle of your software. We have…
- DEV – Where we work and do our initial programming for you.
- TST – Where we ask you to login and test parts of the system.
- PRD – Your main production environment for day to day working.
- OLD – The previous version should we need to revert to it.
Software Updates
When a bug (programming error) is reported, we can address the programming error quickly and update our central deployment mechanism which will update all the server nodes in our cluster to the new version, thereby quickly fixing the problem. This means there is nothing to download to multiple computers and devices, and more importantly, no need to tie up valuable technical staff rolling out updates. Simple, effective, powerful.
