AttractSoft Supports StartupsAttractSoft supports young Startups in the AttractSoft Cloud

As young company we from AttractSoft know how hard it is to to fit an internet technology startup project in tight time lines and project budgets. We know abou the difficulties in finding partners you can trust. Beside the workforce, the technology infrastructure is most often the biggest asset on a young company's bill.
Therefore we decided to create a technology resources pool in our cloud that allows young companies to run and develop their applications without incurring imbearable costs.  

We support Startups

AttractSoft Technology Know How


Cluster (Cloud) technologies:

LVS - Linux Virtual Server is a highly scalable and highly available server built on a cluster of real servers, with the load balancer running on the Linux operating system.

Heartbeat - Provides a high availability (clustering) solution for Linux which promotes reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS)

VRRP - Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol

Ultra Monkey - High Availability and Load Balancing Solution for Linux

XEN - Powerful hypervisor - industry standard for virtualization, offers a powerful, efficient, and secure feature set for virtualization of x86, x86_64, IA64, ARM, and other CPU architectures.

VMware - virtualization platform that dramatically improves the efficiency and availability of resources and applications.

 

Server technologies

The following operating systems are used in formation of the core of our hosting infrastructure:

Debian, RedHat, CentOS, SuSE, Slackware - We use different Linux distributions with their best features where they best suit our need for an optimal performance

Microsoft Windows Server 2003/2008 -  The most advanced server based on the Microsoft Operating system used by thousands of developers around the globe.

 

File system technologies:

RAID1, RAID6 - Redundant Array of Inexpensive/Independent Disks that allows achieving of high levels of storage reliability, extended capacity and performance.

LVM2 - An innovative userspace toolset that provide logical volume management facilities on linux servers.

NFS - Network File System is a network file system protocol allowing a client computer or server to access files over a network in a manner similar to a local storage.

iSCSI - Internet Small Computer System Interface, an Internet Protocol (IP)-based storage networking standard for linking data storage facilities.

XFS - a high-performance journaling file system and particularly proficient at handling large files and at offering smooth data transfers.

DRBD - Block device designed as a building block to form high availability (HA) clusters.

GFS - Red Hat Global File System is an open source cluster file system for enterprise deployments allowing the management of cluster servers a one single instance.

OCFS - Oracle Cluster File System presents a consistent file system image across the servers in a cluster.

CLVMD - A daemon that distributes LVM metadata updates around a cluster.

LUSTRE - A Network Clustering File System designed for High Performance and Scalability.

GLUSTERFS - A cluster file-system capable of scaling to several peta-bytes, based on a stack able user space design.

Database technologies:

MySQL, MySQL Cluster, MySQL Replication - MySQL Enterprise Server - software is the most reliable, secure and up-to-date version of MySQL for cost-effectively delivering E-commerce, Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), and multi-terabyte Data Warehousing applications. MySQL Cluster is the industry’s only true real-time database that combines the flexibility of a high availability relational database with the low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of open source.

Postgres & Postgres triggers - PostgreSQL is a powerful, open source object-relational database system that boasts sophisticated features such as Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC), point in time recovery, tablespaces, asynchronous replication, nested transactions (savepoints), online/hot backups, a sophisticated query planner/optimizer, and write ahead logging for fault tolerance.

Web Server technologies:

Apache2 - The Apache HTTP Server Project is a robust, commercial-grade, featureful, open souce source code implementation of an HTTP (Web) server. It is also an effort to develop and maintain an open-source HTTP server for the modern operating systems.

thttpd - Simple, small, fast, and secure HTTP server. It doesn't have a lot of special features, but it suffices for most uses of the web, it's about as fast as the best full-featured servers (Apache, NCSA Netscape), and it has one extremely useful feature (URL-traffic-based throttling).

MS IIS  - Flexible, secure and easy-to-manage Web server for hosting anything on the Web. From media streaming to web application hosting, IIS’s scalable and open architecture is ready to handle the most demanding tasks.

Programming Languages:

HTML, DHTML, JavaScript, AJAX, PHP, Perl/CGI, C/C++, VB.NET / C# / ASP.NET
XML, XSL, XSDL, SOAP, Sphinx
