Technologies Used for Development of Confluo

Major development (except for desktop sharing):

• PHP
• AJAX
• XHTML
• My SQL (as the database)

For development of desktop sharing system:

• C and C++
• Java

Workstation Requirements:

• Internet Explorer 7.0 (or above) or Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.20 (or above)
• Adobe Flash Player 10.0.22.87
• Java Run Time Environment 1.6 (or above)
• RAM 512 MB
• And a good Internet Speed (For a Home user 512 kbps bandwidth is minimum required, for Corporate users it depends on the number of users for example 2 mbps dedicated bandwidth would be enough for 100 users)

Deployment Requirements of Confluo

• Software requirements:

• OS: Redhat Enterprise Linux 5.0 or above
• Dependencies:
  • PHP version 5.1.6 or above
  • My SQL version 5.0.22 or above
  • GD Library package

• Hardware Requirement for upto 10,000 users:

• Intel Xeon 5000 processor (preferably a duo processor system)
• Minimum 4 GB RAM ( though recommended is 8 GB RAM)
• Free disk space requirement would depend on the actual usage and cannot be recommended. Hence, a RAID-based storage is recommended.
• Separate server for desktop sharing with RAM appx. 1 GB of RAM for the reflector plus additional (max.) 96 MB RAM per sharing session. Though a sharing session can support up to 150 participants, but the maximum number of concurrent sessions presently supported by the system is 50. Hence, a total RAM requirement is of 6 GB.
