Over Half a Million Downloads of BitRock Stacks

We are happy to announce that BitRock open source stacks have been downloaded over 500,000 times. We’d like to thank our customers, whose success has helped to drive our own.

If you aren’t familiar with BitRock Custom Stacks, you can learn more on our website.

Basically, we build customized, integrated stacks of all of the open source software an application requires to run. In many cases, the stack is essentially a customized AMP Stack, with Apache, MySQL or PostgreSQL, and PHP, Python or Perl, along with other components such as OpenSSL or phpMyAdmin. We also build a lot of Java-based stacks, which typically include MySQL, JBoss or Tomcat and the Java runtime, along with other software.

If you’d like to take a look at a few of the stacks we have done for customers such as JasperSoft, MySQL, KnowledgeTree, Pentaho and Openbravo, we have a few short case studies and videos of the installation process posted on our site as well.
