Platforms
The choice of platform to use for our developed
solutions always depends on the business needs, requirements, and
technical factors. Our products are designed and developed for the
Microsoft .NET Framework. However, this does not deter us from
developing solutions on any other platforms, as frequently we have
done. We’ve developed solutions that work on the Java platform,
others that work on the Linux/PHP open source platform, and also
solutions that work on the Macromedia ColdFusion Application
Server.
Bottom line is, we always analyze the business requirements first
before recommending any particular platform. And based on our
analysis, we make our recommendations, and we keep an open mind with
regards to all technologies we’re experienced with.

Our Computing Facilities
In 1996 CNS started its business by establishing Jordan’s only web
driven Bulletin Board System. At the time Internet connectivity was
well beyond the reach of many, and this service provided middle
ground between the Internet and the traditional Bulletin Board
Services. Slowly but surely, we continued to grow, establishing our
name and experience for developing web sites.
Currently we have a network of over 35 PCs and PC servers operating
Microsoft Windows. Of these 35 PCs, 25 are used for software and web
development. Our servers run Microsoft Windows 2000 and 2003 Server,
and host Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft Internet Security and
Acceleration Server, and Microsoft SQL Server. Our production web
servers are hosted in the United States. We took the decision of
hosting in the U.S. primarily for network connectivity and bandwidth
reasons. Network connectivity and bandwidth in the U.S. are
significantly better than what we have in Jordan. Furthermore,
initially we started with shared servers, but now we manage our own
dedicated machines, and we have complete control and access over
these machines. We host on Linux and on Microsoft Windows.
