PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--All components needed for IBM® i PHP web application development are included in a new Solution Stack, iAMP Server, from AURA Equipements. iAMP stands for IBM i + Apache + MySQL + PHP.
The new iAMP Server solution stack can be downloaded free from AURA (www.easycom-aura.com) and partners. AURA’s annual support licenses for iAMP Server are priced very reasonably.
iAMP Server is based on common and standard packages: Apache (HTTP server V2.2.21), MySQL (5.1.59) and PHP (5.3.8, with common extensions).
To complete the solution stack, AURA added its robust Easycom V4 for native access to IBM i data and programs. Formerly known as the “i5 Toolkit,” Easycom was packaged with Zend’s PHP solution from 2006 to 2011. Easycom V4 accesses all IBM i specific objects and features: Native Program and Procedures calls, System commands and APIs, database access, queues and lists, spool files, etc. The Easycom extension can be loaded from any PHP server on Linux, Windows and IBM i, including Zend Server.
Features and benefits of iAMP Server include:
- Full compliance with web technology standards, so all the components on the IBM i behave exactly as they do on any other Unix and Linux platform
- Easy, fast installation process and very light system footprint
- Multiple installs can run concurrently
- Multiple instances of the applications can run concurrently
- Efficient and scalable
- For IBM i versions V7R1, V6R1, V5R4
- Premium annual support licenses from $1,500
Support and consulting services are available worldwide from AURA and partners, including, in North America, IBM i expert Chris Hird from Shield Advanced Solutions (www.shieldadvanced.ca).
With an installed base of more than 20,000 users and 10,000 developer licenses, AURA is the leader in interoperability between the IBM i and the new technology tools in the Windows/AIX/Linux worlds. Thousands of users are connected today to IBM i and AS/400 systems through AURA's Easycom and LAUNCHER/400 solutions. AURA has been offering development tools that provide simplicity, efficiency, security and portability since 1986.
