Alpha Five Web Application Server Architecture Alpha Software's Web Application Server is now built in Alpha Five, beginning with ver. 6. This allows Alpha Five to become a web server in its own right. The system is easily configured and ready to run. As you might already know, your web application is an extension of your traditional desktop application. Your web application can use the Alpha native DBF files or can leverage third party database applications such as MySQL and Microsoft SQL server. In addition, the Alpha Software Web Application Server has been designed to take advantage of Apache load balancing to allow the WAS to hand heavy network traffic. What ever your configuration needs, Firm Support will assist you in designing the correct architecture for your Web Application Server. View the Alpha Five Web Application Server Architecture

Firm Support Software has been building Alpha Software business solutions since 1993. Firm Support Software founder John Bowen started his consulting career building applications in Alpha Four Ver 2.1, progressed through the various versions of the DOS product. When Alpha Software's Windows version, Alpha Five was introduced, John co-authored a book to assist users in migrating from Alpha Four (A4) to Alpha Five (A5).

John was also a frequent contributor to the Alpha Forum and eventually Firm Support purchased the monthly newsletter publication from Sherry and Jay Martin. Under the ownership of Firm Support Software, Alpha Forum was converted to an online newsletter and continued to serve the Alpha Software developer and user community form several years.

Over the years, Firm Support Software has built multiple database applications for many customers including Avon Products IT department, Rand McNally Maps and many others. Our experience in developing Alpha Software solutions will make Firm Support Software the perfect partner for your application development.
