Apache Server Environment
Summary
The Apache HTTP Server is the backbone which serves up the Clearmix PlatformTM. Apache is currently the most popular http server, being run by just under 50% of websites on the internet. Supporting all major operating systems, Apache's adoption has also been a product of it's strong open source community.
Some of the most common extensions and modules that plug in to the Apache server included mod_gzip for compressing ouput, and mod_rewrite for handling virtual file requests.
Integration
Our integration with Apache consists of many different modules that we've plugged into Apache to support the wide range of requirements set forth by our platform. As mentioned, they include mod_gzip, mod_rewrite, mod_deflate along with some others which for security reasons are kept internal.
The server is so flexible and dynamic that it's able to handle our integration with SimpleCDN for static media mirroring, as well as video encoding requests routed to our FFmpeg servers.
Result
Apache serves as the intial building block of your community as it's the http server which your community, and the Clearmix PlatformTM, sits atop of. The result of running Apache as the HTTP server is seen with the speed, security, and scalability that your community will run on.
