BlueWhaleCRM Architecture
|
BlueWhaleCRM is built entirely on Microsoft's .NET platform. Although most software
that started in the open source world is geared towards the linux or LAMP platforms
to preserve the pure open-source architecture, this is not necessarily a benefit
in the corporate environment. Several independent studies have shown that the total
cost of ownership (TCO) for Microsoft Windows servers is lower than that of Linux
servers when taking into account the advanced skill level needed to manage linux
servers. In addition, a majority of corporations already have in place a Microsoft
infrastructure and the people to support it.
Ease of administration, existing architecture, and compatibility with standard desktop
applications are the main reasons we chose the .NET platform for BlueWhaleCRM. By
building BlueWhaleCRM in .NET, we have opened up an unlimited array of integration
options with other systems that many companies use. The available source code in
our Developer version is easy to read and extremely easy to customize in the .NET
environment.
To run BlueWhaleCRM, we recommend Windows server 2000 or 2003, MSSQL Server 2000
Standard or Enterprise Edition, and Internet Information Services (IIS) version
5 or higher. While this is the optimal configuration, developers can run the entire
application on Windows XP and MSDE. This configuration is not recommended for an
enterprise deployment, but it can be used successfully to develop & test BlueWhaleCRM before
any investment in hardware or software is made.
