MacOSX Leopard is still beta. You can report bugs in ejabberd bug tracker.
]]>Owned by Portugal Telecom, SAPO is the largest Internet Service Provider (ISP) in Portugal. The company had a large online messaging community, but its existing server was simply not stable enough to cope with demand.
"We had daily interruptions in service, which were costing us customers," explains Pedro Melo, technical consultant at SAPO. "We worked with the existing supplier for quite a long time to try to resolve these stability issues, but it just got to the point when we couldn't put up with the costs and problems any longer."
As an ISP, the company needed a stable server to support its instant messaging (IM) capability and a more flexible platform for delivering a wider range of customer services. In addition, it needed a server that could scale horizontally as its customer base grew.
SAPO was already aware of Process One and so contacted the company for its advice. "We discovered that Process One solutions were already successfully powering some very big and growing sites, and this gave us all the reassurance we wanted," says Melo. "We didn't need to look any further."
Process One specialises in developing high-performance messaging solutions based on the ejabberd server. A standard technology from the Internet Engineering Task Force, ejabberd is based on the widely accepted eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) and offers a highly robust messaging platform. ejabberd is also an open source technology and is thus a secure choice for SAPO.
Process One helped SAPO to prepare the migration from its existing server and then customise the technology. It advised the company about integration with its existing internal infrastructure and provided tools for load testing. The migration was completed very quickly and without any significant issues.
"We were up and running in less than two months," explains Melo. "Process One was extremely helpful. The team was interested in our business, provided us with good advice and support and always reacted quickly if we had any issues."
SAPO is confident that it made the right decision in selecting an ejabberd-based platform. "ejabberd is the enterprise-class, large-scale deployment king," says Melo. "It has been working very, very well."
SAPO has a longstanding commitment to open source technologies, so ejabberd provides a good fit with the company's IT strategy. If it needs to, the company knows that it can look into the code itself, diagnose problems and suggest fixes or customisations. "SAPO has a strong open source culture," explains Celso Martinho, CTO of SAPO. "Using open source software enables us to be innovative, flexible and reactive in a global market where the absence of these qualities can seriously hurt your business."
Through their work together, Process One has produced a number of ejabberd product extensions to meet SAPO's specific business requirements, and SAPO now plans to make these extensions openly available to other users of ejabberd. SAPO also plans to publish the code it developed for migrating from its previous solution to the ejabberd platform, and it believes that this, in particular, will be very useful to other companies.
But it is not just the ejabberd technology that is open. Process One also has a very open relationship with its clients. "The company provides us with access to its internal development site, so that we can see exactly what it is doing and the status of all tasks," explains Delfim Machado, technical project leader at SAPO. "Both sides feel that nothing is hidden."
Since going live with ejabberd, SAPO has been able to successfully use IM to enhance other services. For example, it has integrated its ejabberd server with its SMS network, so customers can now send messages to the mobile phones of friends and colleagues from their PCs using IM. Similarly, customers can elect to receive an IM message when a new comment is posted to their blog or when they receive an important email from a specific email address.
"We are really excited about all of the possibilities with ejabberd," says Melo. "The integration of IM with other services creates a really strong differentiator for us. In the future, we plan to integrate more and more services with IM."
In particular, SAPO plans to work with Process One in the months ahead to extend the use of IM into the areas of multi-media and Voice over IP (VoIP). As new technology standards emerge, SAPO will also work with Process One to integrate these into its ejabberd platform and services.
Martinho concludes: "ejabberd has proven to be a carrier-class solution. It has provided us with a robust and scalable platform that we can trust for our messaging projects. We have a strong relationship with Process One and are very confident about the future."

SIPPhone is a strong advocate of industry standards. Based in San Diego in the USA, the company provides a range of voice over IP (VoIP) services for consumers and businesses. It decided to introduce new instant messaging capabilities for its customers and realised that the use of industry-recognised protocols would be the key to its success.
“We believe that industry standards are the way forwards for this industry”, says Matthew Reilly Software Engineer at SIPPhone. “The compatibility of our solutions with other established systems helps us to compete very strongly with proprietary solutions from other vendors.”
SIPPhone wanted to establish a new instant messaging service that would be highly available and robust. To gain the trust of new users, its solution had to be both easy to use and reliable.
The company carried out an extensive market review to find the most suitable instant messaging server with which to deliver its new service. Reliance on industry standards was, of course, a prime requirement. In addition, however, SIPPhone needed a server that could support large numbers of concurrent users per node, to limit hardware and administration costs. It also needed to be able to customise the server easily and integrate instant messaging capabilities seamlessly with its VoIP provision.
ejabberd met the brief precisely. Based on the widely accepted eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), standardised by the Internet Engineering Task Force, ejabberd is a high-performance instant messaging server. It is an open source solution, so SIPPhone was able to licence the technology free of charge. It is also highly robust and offers a large number of built-in features for improving the performance of instant messaging services.
Process One specialises in developing high-performance messaging solutions based on the ejabberd server and provided SIPPhone with assistance to acquire the solution. SIPPhone had a strong team of software engineers who were able to customise the server and build a bespoke solution in-house. However, experts from Process One were available throughout the project to provide the team with advice and support when required.
Engineers at SIPPhone soon realised that ejabberd was a very effective toolbox. They quickly developed a highly robust messaging service in line with business expectations and integrated it easily into the company’s existing VoIP infrastructure. Throughout the project, the company experienced no segmentation faults or buffer overloads.
“Simply put, it works”, says Reilly.
It was very important for the messaging solution to support large numbers of users. ejabberd scales naturally to handle thousands of simultaneous users connected on a single ejabberd node, but also has an in-built clustering feature. Through the use of clustering, companies can make their solutions even more scalable and increase fault tolerance at the same time.
SIPPhone launched its new messaging capability as a feature of Gizmo Project, a free-to-use VoIP service for consumers and businesses. Now, users of Gizmo Project can exchange messages instantly with friends, family and colleagues. Due to the use of industry standards and gateways, the service allows users to ‘chat’ with users of compatible systems too, such as Yahoo Messenger, Windows Live, Google Talk and other Jabber-based systems.
Since going live, the solution has been very reliable. ejabberd allows engineers to perform updates on code without loosing the connection or needing to restart the server. As a result, SIPPhone is able to troubleshoot the system and perform maintenance, while keeping users connected and chatting. “This is a very important benefit, as it allows us to maintain a high level of availability for our customers”, says Reilly.
He concludes: “We have now been using ejabberd for over three years and it has performed beyond our expectations.”

]]>Pour animer la phase finale de la campagne présidentielle sur internet, LeChatCitoyen s'est lancé le 2 avril 2007 avec pour programme 19 jours de discussion en ligne et en temps réel.
Le but est depuis l'origine de créer un terrain d'expression vierge que chaque citoyen peut conquérir et s'approprier. « Le système fonctionne et c'est maintenant à l'écosystème d'Internet d'agir », déclare Mickaël Rémond, un des initiateurs du projet.
Le site évolue en permanence et se dote de nouvelles fonctions tous les jours pour répondre aux besoins exprimés par les utilisateurs. Récemment, le site s'est doté d'un composant que tout blogueur ou tout parti politique peut ajouter sur son site pour marquer son soutien à un parti. La « fenêtre » permet de visualiser les conversations qui se déroulent dans le salon de discussion d'un candidat et de rejoindre la discussion en un clic.
À partir de là, tout est possible et le site ira où les internautes veulent l'emmener. Il joue un rôle complémentaire par rapport aux blogs, car il s'appuie sur l'immédiateté et l'instantanéité. Il permet ainsi de commenter en direct des événements en différé. François Bayrou a choisi de s'exprimer en vidéo enregistrée, répondant aux questions des internautes. LeChatCitoyen organisera un chat autour de la position de François Bayrou, lorsqu'elle sera mise en ligne le 10 avril. Il est également prévu d'en faire un lieu de recueil des réactions au soir du premier tour. C'est un moyen de réunir un plus grand nombre de personnes que dans les QG de campagne tout en collectant les impressions de chacun à chaud.
L'outil n'est pas antipolitique, bien au contraire. « Nous serions ravis que des hommes et femmes politiques s’en servent comme moyen d'expression », s'enthousiasme Mickaël Rémond. L’avantage principal du chat est qu’il permet de faire participer des centaines de milliers de personnes en même temps et d’être créatif sur les modes opératoires du débat. Il est envisageable d’organiser une session de questions - réponses entre des internautes et 12 candidats, en parallèle. La plate-forme se prête également bien aux débats entre internautes et militants. Le plus grand débat de France est ainsi rendu possible par l’Internet instantané.
« Nous sommes également ouverts à des partenariats autour du site avec d'autres acteurs du net et nous avons déjà lancé des initiatives sur lesquels la blogosphère ou les sites de médias peuvent nous rejoindre », conclut Mickaël Rémond. Le site a lancé les ‘vendredis du Chat Citoyen’, qui visent à rassembler le plus de personnes possible autour d'un échange d'idées en ligne.
Techniquement, le système est bâti avec des logiciels libres et le savoir-faire de Process-one dans la mise en place de solutions de chat.
Le Chat Citoyen est accessible sur www.LeChatCitoyen.com.
