TravelObjects - Technology

On this page you find a description of the technology we use in plain English. If you would like to have full details with all geek-speak, contact us via email and we shall provide you with a White Paper.


Operating Platform

We prefer Linux and the standard release of TravelObjects comes on on a Redhat Enterprise or Redhat 7.3 operating system. You will have an exceptionally stable software that rarely requires reboots (maybe two or three times a year).


Other Platforms

We can deliver TravelObjects on Unix or Windows as well, please contact us for separate pricing. If you operate on Unix and the server has sufficient space, TravelObjects can be installed on such a machine.


Database

Standard release is MySQL, the world's largest open source database with over five million installations. However, TravelObjects can be used with all major database systems that are available in the market, like Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, Sybase and others.


Application Server

TravelObjects uses Zope, a middleware product from the United States. Zope comes with a variety of tools and is available on Linux, Unix and Windows.


Web Server

The system uses Zope's built-in webserver, ZServer, but can operate with Apache as well.


Hardware Requirements

TravelObjects on Linux requires an entry level server with some 512 MB of RAM, 18 GB hard drive. The processor speed is not the deciding factor, anything near 1 GHz will do.


Optimal Performance

The combination for a maximum in speed and performance and minimum in cost is
- Linux operating system
- MySQL as database
- ZServer as webserver


Heavy Duty Setup

Just for completeness sake: there are sites using the same technology (Zope, relational database) with hundreds of simultaneous users. For such a scenario, we would recommend
- Unix platform
- Oracle database
- Apache webserver
