LiberCloud offers content management and collaboration services for content authors, educators, instructors as well as active learners. The SaaS platform allows individuals to sign-up as well as it gives the ability to educational institutions and businesses to create dedicated instances and private communities for sharing or collaborating on content.
The multi-tenant SaaS platform initially developed on the LAMP stack, was being expanded with a MongoDB NoSQL cluster, Node.js component and Socket.io for asynchronous notifications, and an Ejabberd based real-time XMPP server for group discussion rooms and live-chat. The content management services support multi-media assets as well as interactive assets such as virtual whiteboards, real-time polls and surveys, and assessments. LiberCloud launched its beta services to the public in 2014 and announced the general availability at the international Bett trade-show in London in January 2015. LiberCloud service was targeting international businesses or startups with a distributed workforce, clients, and user base. Therefore, it required designing and deploying the services in a distributed fashion, such that content originated in one region is available in others, and participants in real-time virtual discussions, polls, and group chats could be in any region. LiberCloud intent to offer its services near or in the proximity of the organizations and users we serve required a distributed architecture spread across multiple geographical regions. |
