Atlassian Confluence

http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/
Confluence is widely referred to as the industry standard enterprise wiki. Enterprise wikis make it easy for your team to collaborate, share and archive knowledge. In recent years, wikis like Confluence have become popular as:
  • repositories of programming wisdom,
  • e-learning resources,
  • massive online encyclopedias,
  • and increasingly as tools of savvy businesses, looking for a simple but effective way to share content and information both inside their organization and out.

What makes Confluence such a great wiki? From top to bottom, Confluence was designed for enterprise use. With its fine-grained permissioning capabilities, you control who can view, create, edit, comment, or upload attachments within work spaces and pages. This keeps confidential information private. Confluence is intuitive, making it possible for everyone within your company to use it. In other words, no special programming language is required.

Also as web-based software, Confluence runs on just about every application server and database. It's extremely flexible. You can customize the layout (look and feel), page and site structure, and permissioning. Confluence scales from a single user to tens of thousands of users. It provides full web service interfaces (SOAP and XML-RPC) for your applications or scripts to remotely update content, manage users, or administer individual spaces.

JIRA MultiSite & JIRA Clustering

http://www.wandisco.com/jira/
JIRA MultiSite and JIRA Clustering from WANdisco combine JIRA's flexible and easy to use bug tracking, issue tracking, and project management solution, with WANdisco's active-active replication technology to turn a JIRA central server implementation into a distributed, enterprise ready application lifecycle management solution.

JIRA MultiSite can be implemented standalone, or in conjunction with WANdisco's multi-site solutions for Subversion and CVS to provide a complete, enterprise ready ALM solution, with built-in reliability and scalability, and no single point of failure. With this powerful combination, distributed development teams collaborate at LAN-speed over the WAN, instead of working in isolation. This means that problems are detected and resolved as they occur, so there's less QA and rework. Development cycles are shortened, resulting in major cost savings.

JIRA Clustering supports clustering over a WAN, or a LAN, without any single point of failure. JIRA Clustering also provides failover and self-healing capabilities that automate disaster recovery without any administrator intervention, or dependencies on third party disk mirroring solutions.

Atlassian Crowd

http://www.atlassian.com/software/crowd/
Crowd is a web-based single sign-on (SSO) utility that simplifies application provisioning and identity management. Administrators can manage authentication and authorization for as many users, web applications and directory servers as needed - all through a single, intuitive interface. Crowd is the perfect solution to:
  • provide users the convenience of single sign-on,
  • manage any number of users, logins and passwords,
  • centralize user management for other enterprise applications such as Confluence, JIRA and Jive Forums,
  • connect to multiple LDAP servers, such as Microsoft Active Directory,
  • integrate or import legacy user repositories,
  • control access to individual applications for every user and group,
  • and fluidly connect enterprise applications such as Confluence, JIRA and Jive Forums to other custom or proprietary applications.

Appfire actively participated in the first alpha and beta releases of the Crowd product. Soon after, Appfire had the pleasure of implementing the first public production deployment of Crowd v1.0 for one of our clients by integrating the utility with Confluence, Jive, Salesforce.com, and a custom suite of web-based utilities developed by our engineers.

Atlassian has recognized Appfire's accomplishments with their Crowd product by featuring a quote from Appfire's CTO in multiple prominent locations within the Crowd product website. Appfire was also recently selected to be featured within Atlassian's first public Crowd case study.
