Alfresco Standards Support
Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is a critical part of any corporate infrastructure. An infrastructure can only be successful when it is based on industry standards and standard components. Most of today’s legacy ECM systems were built in the early 1990’s before content management standards existed. Many of the corporate infrastructure components and standards such as application servers, web services, RSS, REST we now take for granted were developed after many ECM systems further complicating the problem.
Alfresco is a modern state-of-the-art ECM built using Spring, Hibernate, Lucene and jBPM based on standards such JSR-170, JSR-168, Web Services and REST. This allows Alfresco to be deployed in any J2SE 5.0 (JRE 5.0) application server such as Apache Tomcat or JBoss Application Server delivering significantly better scalability and high-availability properties such as distributed cache management, automatic failover and clustering.
