“E-commerce is a challenge. Like building a website people want
to visit and that a company can easily maintain. A site that
doesn’t just sell but also builds brand recognition.”
“That’s the challenge Neil Day faced at HomeWarehouse.com. And
he has created a solution that succeeds on all counts, thanks to
careful design, thoughtful content, and a solid technical
foundation built on Red Hat Linux.”
“Red Hat Linux helped us build a very sophisticated web farm and
office infrastructure very quickly and inexpensively,” says Neil
Day, HomeWarehouse’s Vice President of Engineering. “Our Web
Application Server is Red Hat Linux, running on generic Intel x86
hardware. This is a very cost-effective, high-performance solution.
The cost of adding additional application servers to our Web
farm is negligible, and thus has allowed HomeWarehouse.com to focus
our financial resources on development.” Red Hat Linux meshes well
with the other software tools used by HomeWarehouse, including
Apache, Jserv, GSP, and the Oracle 8i database.”
