Why Bandwagon?
Flexible front end sales channels and admin interfaces
High performance modular design has a betting engine at it's core that all systems interact with as equals. Run your sales channels 100% client side or, place server side processing between. Utilise any design or software house to build any compatible sales or admin channel without any practical restriction on look and feel. Use any CMS/CRM you like.
Works with all major databases
Bandwagon works out of the box with Oracle, PostgreSQL and MySQL. There are no SQL joins in the core system so partitioning of data between servers and databases is trivial. Redis server is also utilised as a NoSQL option for messaging, hot configuration and non-core system data.
Bloat free
Betting engine, example sales channels for major browsers and devices, straight forward admin and feeds. Market creation and management. Liability management and bet intercept. Only what you need in the base system. No more and no less. Add features only as you and your business require.
Lower cost of operation
Possible to run desktop and mobile websites 100% client side with no traditional server side processing for clients. This means that dedicated front end servers are largely unnecessary. In an average installation this would reduce server numbers and maintenance overhead by around 10 servers per location by having sales channels cloud hosted. Even with dedicated hosting only 1 or 2 servers would be required rather than 6 to 10.
API access and Feeds
Providing API access or XML data feeds is trivial by virtue of the engine based design. Popular data feeds are already supported for market creation/control and pricing. Communication with the betting engine is via REST and XML or JSON allowing for easy integration with other Internet services.
Cloud friendly
Take advance of per hour processing costs using cloud computing services to meet spikes in demand. With the option of a 100% client side sales channel design, cloud services can automatically host your websites geographically near clients for cents per hour. Pay for computing services as there are required rather than the expense of gold-plating your infrastructure for only one day of the year.
Works with all major Linux distributions
Bandwagon's core is written in C++, the industry standard for high-performance server and client applications. We recommend a 64bit Linux distribution for hosting the core components. High performance and reliable results can be found on inexpensive commodity server hardware.
