System Architecture and Stability
OPUS is built and hosted on a Class A Hybrid Backbone. All application servers and database servers are located within the Rackspace Enterprise Cloud Network. Digital Asset Delivery (music and message files) are hosted within the Akamai Intelligent Platform with data synched in real‐time via the Akamai API.
The administrative Portal/Console is architected as a N-Tier solution. The front-end is developed with ASP.NET, C#, jQuery, Angular JS and other frameworks, and runs on Microsoft IIS. The middle layers are developed via an object oriented domain driven design using C# and wrapped in a services layer API. The middle layer communicates with SQL Server which administers all transactional and reporting data. The entire OPUS solution is developed within a Microsoft Team Foundation environment that supports three stages of project management consisting of Development, Staging/Testing, and Production environments.
OPUS utilizes SQL database technology for data storage and integration, running a myriad of automated web services integrated into each application providing automation across applications and databases.
