this bigdata is the good technology up coming

Awesome platform. Offers on-premise and in-the-cloud versions. Supported by a large, very active community.

eXo platform is much more than a simple intranet app. You can customize it very deeply.

eXo platform is an open source software serving as company social network, wiki and collaboration platform. Seems to me as an alternative to Microsoft Sharepoint. eXo is also an organization that offers premium paid, profesionally supported version of eXo that can be either hosted on Amazon cloud (with pay-per-user model) or on-premise version. We are currently in the process of evaluating the on-premise version on our testing VPS (3 core Xeon, 4 GB RAM, OpenVZ container with Scientific Linux 7). Installation was really quick - just unpack the zip and start the script as a regular user, within 2 minutes the interface is available on port 8080. Add few minutes setting up nginx as a reverse proxy and adding the start script to be run on boot or reboot and you are ready to be using the on-premise version - fast. There are some imperfections in the Czech language translation of the UI and some minor bugs with international characters that are not treated correctly in some fields, but generally most functions work well (in our test environment, where not much data is there yet.) A minor issue is that the VPS we use (4 GB RAM is the minimum spec for eXo) seems a little underpowered. If trying to access something that is not cached at the moment it takes a few seconds to load.
