Open Source

As of today all components for building reliable and scalable Enterprise IT architectures and solutions are available as OpenSourceSoftware (OSS):

• Operating System (Linux)
• Database Management Systems (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Derby-Cloudscape...)
• Applications Server (Apache Tomcat, JBoss.....)
• Content Managements Systems (Open CMS, Typo3....)
• WebServices Container (Apache Axis)

It is possible to achieve the same quality and functionality of your IT Services by using OpenSource instead of purchasing expensive and proprietary commercial products. In addition you take the risk to end up in a vendor-lock-in dead-end situation, if you don't pay special attention to not using vendor specific non-standard features.
