We, at IDE, use the following technologies to advance your business:
Linux:
Millions of people and thousands of companies around the world use Linux. Some governments are requiring the use of Linux and Open Source to ensure the security and stability of their networks. Some particularly well-known companies that use Linux include:
- Industrial Light and Magic
The special effects division of Lucas Film used Linux to render the 3D graphics in the latest Star Wars movie, "Attack of the Clones."
- Google
Google, the most popular search engine on the web, runs on a cluster of over 1000 Linux servers!
- Dreamworks
Starting with the blockbuster movie "Shrek," Dreamworks has been using Linux to render 3D graphics and special effects too. (For example, "Spirit, Stallion of the Cimarron.")
- Amazon.com
Amazon.com, online retailer, recently switched entirely to Linux and saved $17 million!
- Verisign, Inc.
Verisign has 1,100 Linux servers in production, and their deployment, along with the use of other open source solutions, continues to expand.
- TiVo, Inc.
TiVo uses Linux in its 640,000 personal television recorder and back-end servers.
- US Postal Services
USPS implemented Linux-based systems in 250 mail distribution centers in its mail routing processes.
- Governments
Government agencies in the US, China, Germany, Norway, and many other countries, all use Linux and Open Source. Some have adopted it as the standard because of its ensured security and inherent stability. Afilias, Ltd. is using a PostgreSQL database environment to support the Internet's .ORG registry.
Apache:
In December 2003, a Net Craft survey received responses from 45,980,112 sites.
Market Share for Top Servers Across All Domains August 1995 - December 2003
PostgreSQL:
- Significant Saving on Staffing Costs
PostgreSQL has been designed and created to have much lower maintenance and tuning requirements than the leading proprietary databases, yet it still retain all of the features, stability, and performance.
In addition to this, PostgreSQL is generally regarded as being far more cost effective, manageable, and practical in the real world than that of the leading proprietary database vendors.
- Legendary Reliability and Stability
Unlike many proprietary databases, it is extremely common for companies to report that PostgreSQL has never crashed for them even over several years of high activity operation. Not even once. It just works.
- Designed for High Volume Environments
PostgreSQL uses a multiple row data storage strategy called MVCC to make PostgreSQL extremely responsive in high volume environments. The leading proprietary database vendor uses this technology as well, for the same reasons.
Hardware:
Dell PowerEdge servers offer reliability, performance and scalability, with standards-based technology that is easier to deploy for all business-critical applications, including e-mail, database and high-performance computing environments.
