Transcript Quick Overview of Caravan 

A Comprehensive Web Application
Development and Deployment Platform
What is Caravan Business Server?

Imagine a Web application development platform which has inbuilt:

Application Server
 With its own Programming / Scripting language. The Scripting language is embedded in html

Database
 RDBMS, Search Engine, Multi Dimensional, Circular
 Access the database via any browser

Communication Server
 Emailing, FTP, Messaging, HTTP, TCP/IP & XML
 SOAP compliant

Cross platform
 Develop once deploy on multiple platforms without change in Source code or database
 Easily Deployable on
 All Windows (95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003 and above)
 Linux
 IBM OS/2 Warp
 Any flavor of UNIX

Remote Administration
 Maintain databases, source code, create groups and users

Web server
“CLEVER IMPLEMENTATION OF EXTREMELY GOOD IDEAS”
Imagine

Security


Facility to create Groups and users
Access to database, source code etc, via login The platform acting as a Web Operating System

Setting up the development environment on your or developers machine in less than a minute

Deployment of both Development Environment & Final Application as simple as “Copying a Folder”

Deploying your application on a CD with database and directly running from the CD. No need to install on
the end machine

Reducing your development time by at least 50% compared to any other conventional web development
platforms

Negligible Cost of Ownership
“CLEVER IMPLEMENTATION OF EXTREMELY GOOD IDEAS”
Imagine
 Carrying the development platform on a FLOPPY
 The platform as an “exe”
 Extremely Tiny footprint
 platform < 1 MB size
 1 Tier architecture
 That is CARAVAN BUSINESS SERVER !!!
