Technology

portalBase is a web-based, usually hosted application. The user interface uses AJAX to transfer data to and from the server.

The server side software and data is usually run as a hosted service by us. However, if you wish to run your own version, it is platform agnostic, running on Linux or Windows.

A number of robust and scalable third party products are used by the server as a foundation for our innovations

	The relational database behind the scenes on our server is the enterprise class database postgresql
	Hibernate and Velocity provide stable frameworks for object storage and display

Our server runs from NTT Communications' London datacentre. Backups are made hourly and transferred offsite daily and monthly.
