10 open source server technologies you need to know

If you think open source server technology is only for the Linux operating system, then consider it. Although these software projects are very well matched to Linux, they are not part of the top 10 open source technology products discussed in this article. Open source software is no longer limited to Linux applications. In fact, today's open source technology has completely crossed all operating system barriers, and even Microsoft has launched their own open source lab (named Port 25) and became the Platinum-level initiator of the San Francisco Open Source Enterprise Conference. In order to give readers a clearer understanding of the current top 10 server-oriented open source technologies, the author has compiled a detailed list of projects and application software for readers' reference and mining. Many of these products are free to use or Close to free use.

2.Mono

Mono is an open source version of Microsoft's .NET technology.

Mono can help users develop powerful and advanced server applications on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows platforms.

Apache Web Server is the most commonly used web server on the Internet, and everyone will associate it with apache.org. Surprisingly, there are more than 70 other open source projects under the Apache family. Enterprise-level projects include ActiveMQ, Geronimo, SpamAssassin and Tomcat. Although many Apache projects are related to Java (such as Geronimo and Tomcat), there are several projects that are independent, such as OFBiz, and several projects that directly enhance Apache functionality, such as mod_perl. If you haven't checked apache.org recently, you should go and have a look. Apache.org includes not only the URLs that users download from the Apache Web Server, but also other new categories. It is currently the most powerful open source software database in the world.

If you don't like to use the CRM software suite in engineering and marketing mode, then SugarCRM will be your right choice.

The company's energy and investment is focused on designing products, not marketing or sales. This model helps SugarCRM become the world's leading open source CRM software product.
