Technology
The Spiral application is among the first, and certainly one of the most advanced, built using an innovative "webtop" user interface. It approaches the responsiveness and convenience of traditional desktop software, while displaying real-time data to multiple users of the system based in different locations. The system runs entirely over the Internet within a single browser window. We support all modern browsers.
Schools do not need to purchase or install any software or hardware to instantaneously provide access to administrators, teachers, students, and parents. We regularly upgrade the system with new features and improvements, which are immediately available to all users.
Multiple redundant servers located in a state-of-the-art data center ensure that your data is always available. We use bank-level security to protect your data, including regular data backups, as well as 128-bit encryption of all data transferred between our servers and users' browsers. At Spiral, school and personal information will survive computer crashes, virus attacks, vandalism, natural disasters, and power failures.
The Spiral platform is built on reliable and secure technologies: Linux, PostgreSQL, Java, Hibernate, Tomcat, Google Web Toolkit and Ext-GWT.
