EWorldSource: Meeting the Enterprise IT Need
Enterprise IT today regards open source technology as crucial for developing and fielding applications to support business efficiency—it’s all about open standards, enhanced interoperability, cost savings and a shorter time to software deployment.Companies developing software products now welcome the growing demand from IT organizations to deliver software that runs on an open source stack. Efficiency and cost control are motivating software developers to create software that will last, using the latest open source technologies and ensuring that it is easy to support and maintain. And of course, the mandate is do all this with a minimum of resources: skilled staff, money, and time.That’s why Eworld has introduced EWorldSource, a set of services designed to simplify the deployment of an open source middleware stack for software applications. These services represent a significant breakthrough in helping companies build business-critical solutions based on opensource software.Concerns about using open source to build or implement software are understandable. It is easy to get bogged down in selecting the best open source technologies with the best fit for legacy environments, security, and licensing options, as well as have the skilled people to implement interoperable applications, using known best practices, testing in a production environment, and planning for support.EWorldSource solves this with a set of services built around the middleware components of a standard open source stack. These services include the evaluation of various technology options, and extend to the development, testing and deployment of software products that are tailored to meet each company’s specific requirements. EWorldSource services also include the migration and support of existing solutions to the open source stack, and the new offering covers all the layers of a typical enterprise-scale application, including the operating system, database, web server, application server and development environment.The methodology behind EWorldSource is based on a set of best practices, experience in integrating open source software and a library of proven solution architectures. Eworld has extensive experience in developing open source solutions from the ground up, working with a variety of open source components and stacks. For example, a typical open source stack for an enterprise Java web application might include Linux, PostgreSQL, JBoss, Apache web server and Tomcat. For development purposes, we might use Eclipse with some select plug-ins and open source test frameworks. Moving forward, we continue to evaluate new components in related areas, and we will adopt them based on merit and customer.
