The need of requisite physical resources in terms of hardware, licensed software, well equipped labs and office space cannot be under emphasized for the success of the offshore delivery model. We at Metacube have made sure that your offshore software development project gets the best possible blend of physical and human resources.

SPACE

Metacube has an integrated offshore development facility ideally located at Software Technology Parks of India (STPI), Jaipur . The campus, spanning five acres of land has a very modern and open design that provides excellent ambience for creative work.

COMPUTING RESOURCES

The corporate intranet consists primarily of Intel Boxes and provides a host of servers including Windows 2000, IIS, Linux, Apache, TomCat, JBoss, MS SQL, Oracle, and MySQL.

A variety of development tools and environment are available to the development teams including Eclipse, Visual Studio.Net, Visual SourceSafe, CVS, Subversion, Ant, Ant Hill, Junit, Nunit, Nant etc.

COMMUNICATION LINK

Metacube has a leased line connection to the earth station at STPI providing high-speed persistent Internet connection to the offshore development teams. Direct connectivity with an earth station ensures that the software development teams have sufficient bandwidth to interact with the overseas clients and, if need be, carry out complex and resource demanding operations over the Internet in a highly distributed environment irrespective of the location of the client's development facility.

Our present communication link has served us very well in the various development, maintenance and quality assurance projects we have been doing for the US, UK and Canadian companies. Most of these projects involve extensive communication and collaboration between the onshore team in the US or UK and the offshore team in India, in the form of VPN access, online meetings, working with remote source code repository, emails, remote system administration and maintenance and document transfers.
