A gold market with a history of 200 embraces Linux

Article title: The Golden market with a history of 200 embraces Linux. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

Unexpected marriage between gold and open-source: BullionVault, the world's leading online gold transaction website, announced a platform based on open-source technology that will use Linux to manage 16 tons of gold worth more than $0.66 billion. BullionVault manages a 24-7 online gold market with over 0.1 million registered users. The system processes thousands of transactions daily, and its 16-ton physical gold is stored in vaults in Switzerland, New York, and London. BullionVault also provides open APIs that allow third-party robots to automatically complete transactions.

BullionVault's backend server was initially running Fedora Core Linux and is now replaced with the CentOS release version. network monitoring uses Nagios, system images use Drbd, work plans use Quartz, and load balancing uses Heartbeat, content management uses Subversion, where BullionVault also donated encryption patches to Nagios. Website Search is Apache Lucene and website content management is Drupal. The front-end desktop system is still mainly running Windows, a few machines are Linux, the Mail client is Thunderbird, the browser is Firefox, and the Office software is Microsoft Office (the workbook program of OpenOffice often crashes, therefore, we give up using it out of reliability concerns ).
