A Simplified & Reliable Solution for
Information Management
•Web‐based (multi‐tier architecture): A client computer uses a browser to access
information from two or more servers (web servers, application servers, database
servers) (i.e.) A web server handles web requests, an application server handles
dynamic requests and a database server stores the data)
Application Servers
Clients Database Server
(eg. web servers)

Benefits of Web based solutions
•Free Infrastructure: A major benefit is that the whole infrastructure
is already in place and well developed. Only a web browser is
needed. The new applications can be available to all the relevant users
immediately – IT support staff do not have to go to each client
workstation to install the Client Software
•Free Upgrades: As the application resides on the server, new
versions will be immediately and simultaneously available to every
user. There is no need to distribute updated application files to every
user.
•Interchangeable components: It is possible to exchange either the
server or the browser without breaking the application.

Open Source Software
Software in a community that is:
Freely Used (no warranty, no limits on usage)
Source code is available for any modifications
Freely Extended (must share source, represent original works and
owners)
License is not specific to a product or restrict other software and also
technology neutral.
Thereʹs always plenty of professional and peer support from
documentation and mailing lists.
Runs on any Platform. Bugs are fixed rapidly, and requests for features
are always heard, evaluated, and if feasible, implemented.

LAMP
Linux
•Free
*nix flavour that is all the rage at the moment.
•Coordinated
Similar to Unix but free and runs on just about anything.
•Cross‐platform
•Plenty of support
Apache
Most popular web page serving software
MySQL
Open source SQL database that is free and extremely powerful
PHP
PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is mainly focused on server‐side scripting, so you can do
anything any other CGI program can do, such as collect form data, generate dynamic
page content, or send and receive cookies. But PHP can do much more.

AMP
One of the most powerful development models for the Web has been the notion of
“AMP.”
AMP stands for “Apache / MySQL / PHP & Perl working together.”

Apache ‐ Advantage
•Apache is well supported ‐ Most support for Apache is free and available 24 hours a
day via Internet mail or newsgroups.
•Apache is multi‐platform ‐ Apache can run on virtually any hardware platform (from
PCs to mainframes), and almost any operating system, such as Linux, Windows,
NetWare, Macintosh, xBSD, etc.
•Apache is secure ‐ security holes are rare but when they exist they are discovered and
fixed quickly
•Apache is extensible ‐ anyone can write modules that easily plug in to Apache. If
Apache doesnʹt do what you want or need it to do, anyone with programming skills can
write the modules you need.
•Apache is database‐friendly ‐ you can interface Apache with virtually any commercial
database, such as Oracle, Sybase, DB2, and Informix, as well as free databases such as
MySQL and Postgres.
•Apache is hardware‐friendly ‐ Apache generally consumes far fewer hardware
resources that commercial web servers.
•No Microsoft Viruses ‐ Apache is immune to the Code Red, Nimda, and other viruses
that target at Microsoft Web servers.

MySQL ‐ Benefits
•The largest growing relational database out on the market as it can handle
large databases that can be accessed over the Web ‐ Meets the ANSI SQL92
regulations (SQL‐Structured Query Language)
•Mainly runs on UNIX‐based environments, but also used on windows
•One of the most used open source databases in the world.
•Capacity to handle 50,000,000+ records.
•Very fast command execution, perhaps the fastest to be found on the market.
•Flexible and secure password system to protect your data ‐ powerful security
system
•Fast, reliable, easy to use, and affordable!
•Easy to get support
•Comes with a source code
•Multi‐User and works on Several Platforms
2/28/2009 TG11
MySQL Control Center
•Graphical administrative interface for
MySQL database(s)
•Can administer several DB servers that are
hosted on different machines
2/28/2009 TG12
PHP ‐ Benefits
•Easy, powerful, popular
•Server‐side scripting language
•Supports many DB’s (not only MySQL)
•Platform Independent
•Web Server Independent
•Free and Open Source
PHP Overtakes Microsoft ASP as the Web’s Number 1 server side Web
technology for the Internet.
•An April Netcraft surveys indicate 24 percent of the 37.6 million websites,
or are running PHP scripts. PHP adoption is growing by 6.5 percent each
month. (9 million sites)

How it works
2/28/2009 TG14
PHP Overview
•Easy learning curve
•Syntax Perl‐
Syntax and C‐like syntax. Relatively easy to learn.
•Large function library
•Embedded directly into HTML
•Open Source server‐side scripting language designed specifically for
the web.
•Conceived in 1994, now used on +10 million web sites.
•Outputs not only HTML but can output XML, images (JPG & PNG),
PDF files and even Flash movies all generated on the fly. Can write
these files to the filesystem.
•Supports a wide‐range of databases (20 + ODBC).
•PHP also has support for talking to other services using protocols such
as LDAP, IMAP, SNMP, NNTP, POP3, HTTP.
2/28/2009 TG15
MySQL Overview
Fast, free, stable database
Syntax is similar to Oracle
Many of the same features as Oracle
Production version still missing
subqueries, stored procedures, and triggers
Frequently used in conjunction with Linux,
Apache, and PHP

offices as a simple ‘Remote Information Management System’
DB Schemas can be developed according to future expansion
plans/Mandatory Implications (if any) from Industry Regulations.
Web Interface Styles can be modified according to more
ease/operation/presentation without much complications

How to Go about it
1. Developing Test Environment
2. Making a Prototype Model with preset baselines & Define
Phases of Deployment
3. Test every phase developed step by step and document/fix
the flaws
4. On Successful testing, Setting the time frame for live
deployment.
5. Risk Assessment & Systems Down Time Estimation
6. Educating management & Staff
7. Deployment according to Schedule
