LAMP,
an open source web platform refers to a set of tools:
Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP (Perl or Python). It
enables rapid development and deployment of enterprise
scale applications. The tools have following
functions:MySQL deals with data storage whereas PHP
(Perl or Python) deals with business logic of the
application. Linux provides robust server environment
whereas Apache, the webserver, delivers the content. The
advantages of LAMP are as follows:
- Building applications
in LAMP leads to Low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) as
all sets of tools are open source.
- The component set of
tools have faster improvement chances as they are all
open source
- This
platform is easy to use and reliable, and also provides
greater flexibility.
- There is no fear of vendor lock-in
(and hence platform lock-in) as in case with commercial
software.
- Being an open source platform, LAMP offers dual
license option (free and non-free). Hence, by buying the
license fee, companies are allowed not to make source
code available.
HyTech Professionals have a team of
experts who can efficiently work with these looser
collections of building blocks to build various types of
web applications. Our experience and expertise enables
us to judiciously decide which applications are not well
suited for LAMP (e.g. applications that require frequent
exchange of large amount of transient data) and hence
suggest some other platform that will be best suited for
that application. Some of our services are as follows:
- Building various types of web applications.
- Migration
and porting of applications build in proprietary
architecture to LAMP.
- Migration and porting of LAMP
applications to other architectures like J2EE, .Net
- Testing
services for LAMP applications.
