The WISA Stack

---

The WISA stack from Microsoft is a set of proprietary technologies for the corporate web-application development including four basic component technologies:

(W) Windows is a family of proprietary graphical operating systems developed and marketed by Microsoft. (I) The company also is readying an Apache-like version of its Internet Information Services web server suite featuring a plug-in architecture that will make IIS more modular.

• (S) Several SQL Server versions—On-premises, Azure, Developer, and the free Express—are offered to make the database-related software useful in more situations, including those using LAMP.


• (A) The ASP.NET web development tool will have new controls designed to reduce the amount of code necessary in common development scenarios by up to 70 percent.

Instead, LAMP has several key advantages over proprietary software development:

• Cost: Open source software is either free or low cost compared to proprietary software.


• Open source: Anyone can review, modify, and work with open source software; developers can improve and fix the technology faster.
