ColdFusion is the industry's leading cross-platform web application server. With ColdFusion, Web developers can quickly develop and deliver a new generation of large-volume, transaction-intensive web applications for everything from e-commerce to business automation and more. Allaire's ColdFusion can also interface with databases offered by Site0 to make an outstanding, database-driven web application.


Windows NT or UNIX


Allaire ColdFusion is a feature offered both on our Developer UNIX and Developer Windows NT plans. You can develop scalable web-based applications using ColdFusion in conjunction with both UNIX and Windows NT databases.


Develop scalable web applications


ColdFusion allows you to develop high-end, scalable web applications using the ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML), which is ideal for programming web applications. Processed entirely on the server, CFML tags cleanly integrate with HTML for user interface and XML for data exchange. Both open and extendible, CFML supports more than 70 server-side tags, 200 functions, and 800 third-party components.


Easy database integration


On the Windows NT platform, ColdFusion will easily integrate with both Microsoft Access or Microsoft SQL database server. On the Solaris platform, ColdFusion will integrate with mySQL. Therefore, regardless of your choice of OS platform, you can still create scalable web-applications with SQL database integration.
