Technology overview

Although we're quite proud of our technology, we understand that social media isn't about technology -- it's about people. Your technology should work so well that your people don't have to worry about it. And the people who provide the platform should understand that you and your people come first. Always.

Communifire is built with the latest in technology platforms, using the ASP.NET 3.5 Framework, C#, MS AJAX, jQuery, and Microsoft SQL Server as the database.

Flexible, scalable, customizable

• The platform can interact easily with your own existing applications
• Customize the layout, look, and feel to match your own brand
• Handle high peak user load within a single server, cloud, or web farm environment
• Extensive and easy to understand source code allows for easy customizations

Architectural Overview

Communifire's architecture is based on a scalable and robust N-tier enterprise SOA architecture and contains fully object oriented code, an optimized database schema, strongly typed objects & collections, data caching, and a unique state management system, ensuring that Communifire can scale to accommodate the most demanding high-traffic communities.

Communifire is built on a flexible provider-based framework:

• Apply updates with ease - Communifire provider model architecture isolates the core platform upgrade process from affecting your custom individual modifications
• Flexible and extensible - Makes interaction with external components a breeze by allowing you to override our code or tap into 'hooks' that are called before and after events
• Use any database you like - Gives you the flexibility in how you store your data. There's no need to change or modify existing application code to use alternate tables or databases for your data storage requirements
• Makes writing custom providers as simple as possible - by providing a robust and well-documented set of base classes from which developers can derive provider classes of their own

Since Communifire comes with a default implementation for all provider based features (such as the ForumsProvider, BlogsProvider, UserProvider, etc.), the provider model offers the best of both worlds -- to those who are content with the default implementation, the system just works as expected; for those that need to customize the system, they can do so without upsetting the existing code or programmatic logic.
