Linuxense Blog

This time Linuxense will be providing SSLC/HSC result lookup service to two Kerala state government web sites and keralaonline.com using our lookup engine named mod_scuba which is an Apache module written in C language. Scuba architecture is optimised for high performance, single-tier lookup services like exam results, telephone directory etc.. Like last year, this time also bandwidth is from Asianet.

Last year we have provided result lookup service using TuX. Though it was enough to serve this kind of surge traffic we want to make it one step ahead –to build a generic lookup engine with minimum lead time to publish, support load balancing and to provide facility for dynamic page generation with out server-side scripting. Scuba architecture is the answer.
