The evolution of software application deployment model from one of on-premise within the enterprise to the cloud has been unabated in recent years. While some companies my be comfortable utilizing SaaS (software as a service), the fact remains that both application and infrastructure sit outside the customer's perimeter of control. With Open Source, you can deploy your private cloud for applications on a platform that is cost effective yet robust, and remain in control.

While most Open Source web applications built on the LAMP platform (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) are relatively easy to use and manage, it is the installation part that is tricky. File and directory permission issues are common, and some web hosting service may offer versions of software components in the LAMP stack that are not compatible with system requirements.

At Perspective Solutions, we have done numerous deployments of Joomla and SugarCRM and we are thoroughly familiar with the LAMP stack. Should you wish to host with a company that understands web applications built on the LAMP platform, feel free to contact us.
