CloudView OEM Edition 5.0 has been designed with improved performance and reduced total cost of ownership in mind, and aims to speed time to market for software product teams by making it easier to embed into existing offerings. CloudView can scale to support over 500TB of data per server cluster, and more than 100 million documents on a single server.
MOSS (Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007) is not only feature rich, it also acts as the central hub for the others. MOSS comes in Standard and Enterprise versions. To buy Enterprise CALs (client access licenses), you’ll first need a Standard CAL for every user. Enterprise has the advanced Business Data Catalog search extensions, the business workflow tools, and the electronic forms processing extensions. Once the initial software load is done, SharePoint will run its Product and Technologies Wizard, which does different things depending on whether you initiated a Basic or Advanced MOSS installation.
