Nuxeo Service Platform is a complete, robust and extensible Java-based Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform, developed under an open source license by Nuxeo and a wide development community.

Nuxeo Service Platform is designed to enable the building and running of a large range of applications within the ECM scope, closely matching enterprises’ needs from the server to the desktop. Nuxeo SP is a global solution ready to take on the challenges of this new era of information management.

One of the key goals of the project is to create an extensible and easy to integrate platform. Nuxeo’s architecture is especially designed to fit this goal.

Applications are developed on top of the Nuxeo platform by using components composition and extension: all Nuxeo components provide services that can configured without writing any code, and can contribute these services to other components using "extension points". This technique encourages the creation of truly re-usable components and enables to quickly create complex applications by assembling and configuring existing components.

Building vertical applications on top of Nuxeo SP is dramatically easy,. You just have to choose the services you want to use, configure them and create the vertical extensions you need.

Scalability is one of the key advantages of Nuxeo SP. With a dedicated set of tools, Nuxeo SP is able to support huge volumes of data and users and to fit the scalability needs of highly available critical applications.

Nuxeo SP offers the concept of “storage core”, so that it is possible to split the physical storage of documents for better performance and define several storage back-ends in the same ECM application.

Nuxeo SP provides a services architecture. Each service of the platform can be deployed on a dedicated machine to enhance the system performance (for example : one machine for the storage core, one for the indexing service, one for the file transformation, two for the application services and two for the web front-end).

Last but not least, almost every services available in Nuxeo support application clustering using the Java EE native clustering mechanisms and provide transparent distributed cache.

Businesses need an ECM platform that can be remotely accessed by other applications or services. Nuxeo SP offers a service oriented architecture so that each service of Nuxeo SP provides a remote access interface (RMI and EJB). You can easily get to the access point of Nuxeo SP from an external application, and interact with all its services wherever they are physically located. Each service of Nuxeo SP can be seen as an information system service that can be used by other applications. Thereby, Nuxeo SP offers a global ECM repository for the enterprise information system.

Besides each service API, Nuxeo SP offers high level Web Services (SOAP, REST and WebDAV) interfaces to guarantee an easy integration with non-java technologies.

Nuxeo SP is the perfect choice to be integrated into a high level service architecture.
