Definition

From a technological perspective is HPS 4 an application server embedded in Internet standards and compatible with standard Internet products.

Mode of Functioning

HPS 4 is based on the functionality of (Web) content management and transaction capabilities, using additional standard products wherever it is sensible to do so.

The publishing of HTML pages in the Internet (and/or Extranet or Intranet) is carried out using an Apache webserver - a widely-known type which has been successfully put to the test under heavy load conditions. Data storage is handled using ORACLE 8i or IBM DB/2 as the basic database systems. ORACLE 8I as well as IBM DB/2 are stable systems utilized in most large companies.

Cache and Three-way Split

High Performance enables a new caching-engine, which is able not to cache only - like usual up to now - total sites, but also single content-elements intelligent and with flexible storagetime.
 
The "active templates" in HPS allow a three-way split of the elements:

- Content
- Layout
- and Business Logic

Splitting the elements into three parts makes it easy to operate different websites on the same system based on the same content and logic (ASP).
On top there's the effect of reducing time and costs even in the phase of implementation: the three-way Split allows to work on the layout -design while at the same time programmation is in process.
 
Scalability

The carefully-chosen HPS system architecture allows great flexibility in adapting and scaling the system to the specific needs of a particular company (see "Function" chart).
