|
|
ejabberd is a distributed, fault-tolerant technology that allows the creation
|
|
|
|
|
of large-scale instant messaging applications.
|
|
|
|
|
The server can reliably support thousands of simultaneous users on a single
|
|
|
|
|
node and has been designed to provide exceptional standards of fault
|
|
|
|
|
tolerance.
|
|
|
|
|
As an open source technology, based on industry-standards, ejabberd can be
|
|
|
|
|
used to build bespoke solutions very cost effectively.

Key Features:
|
|
|
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Cross-platform: ejabberd runs under Microsoft Windows and Unix derived
|
|
|
|
|
systems such as Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD.
|
|
|
|
|
- Distributed: You can run ejabberd on a cluster of machines and all of them
|
|
|
|
|
will serve the same Jabber domain(s). When you need more capacity you can
|
|
|
|
|
simply add a new cheap node to your cluster. Accordingly, you do not need to
|
|
|
|
|
buy an expensive high-end machine to support tens of thousands concurrent
|
|
|
|
|
users.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fault-tolerant: You can deploy an ejabberd cluster so that all the
|
|
|
|
|
information required for a properly working service will be replicated
|
|
|
|
|
permanently on all nodes. This means that if one of the nodes crashes, the
|
|
|
|
|
others will continue working without disruption. In addition, nodes also can
|
|
|
|
|
be added or replaced ‘on the fly’.
|
|
|
|
|
- Administrator Friendly: ejabberd is built on top of the Open Source
|
|
|
|
|
Erlang. As a result you do not need to install an external database, an
|
|
|
|
|
external web server, amongst others because everything is already included,
|
|
|
|
|
and ready to run out of the box. Other administrator benefits include:
|
|
|
|
|
Comprehensive documentation.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
- Internationalized: ejabberd leads in internationalization. Hence it is
|
|
|
|
|
very well suited in a globalized world. Related features are:
|
|
|
|
|
Translated to 25 languages.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
