EGroupware at the IT-Forum of the IHK

EGroupware at the IT-Forum of the IHK

by | May 5, 2017 | Events

On Thursday, May 4, 2017 we were at the IT Forum of the IHK in Ludwigshafen.

Topic: “Digital vs. analog – New ideas for the digital transformation at the workplace”.

After an introduction by Mr. Grotelüschen from the Innovation and Technology Consulting, many interesting presentations followed, for example from the SME 4.0 Competence Center and UplinkIT GmbH. The focus of the presentations was the implementation of the digitalization of workplaces and processes. What does digitalization mean for companies? How can – especially in small and medium-sized companies – a step-by-step changeover and thus a relief for the employees be made? Who can companies turn to if they want to push ahead with digitization?

The presentation on EGroupware by Birgit Becker started under the title “Online Teamwork made easy” and gave an overview of the basic functions of the software and its unique selling points, such as the open source approach and the exclusive use of German data centers in the cloud variant.

We would like to thank you for the exciting presentations and the many pleasant discussions!

Optimised Operational Concept for the EGroupware Hosting

Optimised Operational Concept for the EGroupware Hosting

by | Mar 24, 2017 | News

Dear EGroupware users,

Quite a bit has happened during the last weeks. As already announced, the whole hosting cloud infrastructure moved to the German data centre provider Profitbricks.

New Data centre and optimised Operational Concept

The move is successfully completed, all instances are now running in the new data center in Frankfurt/Main, Germany.  After an extensive research and talks to different providers, we decided to work with Profitbricks as an experienced, German cloud computing supplier. We’re happy to present you the new operational concept for more reliability today.

Standards

  1. Data storage takes place in Frankfurt in two independent storages in different fire compartments on several hard drives.
  2. Servers are virtualised and will be automatically started on new hardware in case of a hardware failure.
  3. Servers can be equipped with more ressources anytime during operation (e.g. storage, CPUs).
  4. The EGroupware hosting farm runs under the open-source system “Kubernetes”. It manages the orchestration of the containers. The hosting farm itself communicates with a “Galera” database cluster and the “NFS” server for files.
  5. Daily database backups and snapshots of the files are automatically created and saved for at least 30 days. This means, if you accidentially delete files, they can be restored.
The standards of Profitbricks and EGroupware guarantee an extended stability and failure safety for all EGroupware hosting customers.

Technical Setup of the Hosting:

Permanent Replication of all data in a second data centre in a different location

To offer even more failure safety, EGroupware now additionally runs in a second Profitbricks data centre in Karlsruhe, Germany. All EGroupware data is consistently replicated (files every 15 minutes) and stored in this second data centre. In case of a service failure in Frankfurt, hosting customers can hence access their latest data in Karlsruhe. In this case, we’ll automatically activate a reading access to your data. Should there be a longer service failure, we now also have the option to enable the backup hosting farm as a primary platform. Even in case of a longer regional interruption, we can therefore react quickly and make all your data available.

Our Graphic explains the functionality of the new operational concept:

Testing of the Backup Hosting Farm:

To test your EGroupware data, stored in the backup farm, you can access it with this URL anytime: „instance name – top-level domain.egroupware.cc“.

For example for our support centre instead of “my.egroupware.org”: „my-org.egroupware.cc“ or “mycompany-net.egroupware.cc” for all “.net” domains. In case of a service failure, the switch from the primary hosting farm to the backup hosting farm takes place automatically.

Preview – Move of the Mail Server:

The scheduled move of the EGroupware mail farm to the data centre of Profitbricks will take place by the end of June. We’ll also establish a replication of all mail data in both data centres. Therefore we’ll also achieve an improvement of spam filtering and virus protection. Customers of the EGroupware mail hosting will be informed about this process in a separate e-mail.
Kind regards

EGroupware at the Univention Summit 2017

EGroupware at the Univention Summit 2017

by | Jan 30, 2017 | Events

Last week we visited Univention: 300 visitors, speeches about open source, app development, technics and IT in education, an interesting panel discussion and several expert talks at the Univention Summit 2017 in Bremen, Germany.

We particularly liked Peter Gantens inaugural address: “Why open systems are critical for our society” – How purchase decisions and elections can be influenced with the help of user data and why transparency and verifiability are essential when we’re talking about software solutions.

The panel discussion with Dr. Joerg Liebe (CIO Lufthansa Systems), Holger Koch (DB Systel) und Peter Ganten (Univention) clearly showed, that bigger companies use open source in various fields. Otherwise there wouldn’t be any chance for innovation. Smaller firms still have to follow their example.

We’re already looking forward to next years summit!

Best regards
The EGroupware team
