Technology

Powder Blue predominantly uses open source software and was one of the first UK companies using the L-A-M-P architecture to produce commercial web applications. By combining the power of this framework with the wide-ranging skills of our team, we are able to push the limits of what your website can do for your business.

We out-source the hosting of our websites; placing them in the hands of the experts to ensure that you get the best possible service, whilst freeing ourselves to concentrate on the software requirements of your site.

The high resilience, scalable, virtual server solution includes on-demand space and RAM processing - allowing you to boost the server to maintain high performance at peak times. All data is mirrored between separate machines and the entire server image (including the operating system) is regularly backed up to allow more rapid and complete restores than would otherwise be possible.

Our expertise is not limited to just websites either. We've designed and built webcams for the likes of Vodafone and Merinet.Com - including several heavy-duty, environmentally-protected units for outdoor use in the Alps! We run radio links down some of Europe's biggest mountains, create both animation and live video, offer innovative e-mail solutions ... and we're always keen for a new challenge.
