Software developer Zudha has announced the first stable release of a freely downloadable version of the platform for SMBs, Samooha-S.
The architecture of Samooha utilizes the plugin model similar to IDEs like Netbeans and Eclipse that enables users to write their own plugins. It offers features used in Google, Alibaba, SAP, Oracle, Siebel, E-Bay and so on but with an integrated environment that runs as a networked desktop application with a different approach to SaaS (Software as a Service) model.
The platform works on P2P overlay network based on query propagation and discovery mechanism and eliminates server dependency for data or query interpretation. The network utilizes software routers run by Samooha managers for supporting the message routing.
The platform uses Open Source P2P technologies and other network address translation techniques to achieve communication. It also uses Open Source database, object/relational persistence and supports multiple database usage. It claims to be free of spyware, though it has a small signboard for sponsor ad display.
A future development planned by Zudha includes enhanced search and collaboration, voice and video capabilities, integration with standards like Rosettanet and US1GS standards and interoperability with the other enterprise offerings.
Besides Samooha-S, the company also intends to offer Samooha-M for the mid-segment to be made available through cooperative members and Samooha-L for higher end of the mid-segment.
Also, Samooha-XL for enterprises will need with minor customization and be available directly from Samooha managers and strategic partners, while Samooha-XXL for enterprise requires major customization and will be available from Samooha managers in a span of 12-18 months.
