Smedia hosts Rainbow Portal, our Windows 2003 and Windows 2000 servers with MSSQL 2000 can power your Rainbow Portal.

Rainbow's core architecture provides user authentication, internationalization (there are currently 14 supported languages), and a customizable roles-based authorization system that allows content authoring to be safely delegated to multiple team members who need little or no knowledge of HTML. Rainbow also supports a two-step approval process where content is first posted to a staging server and then migrated to the production server after approval.

The Rainbow architecture provides an easy mechanism to add new functionality as portal 'modules'. More than 45 modules are included in the standard release.

The initial Rainbow design, based on Microsoft's IBuySpy (IBS) portal kit, has been significantly enhanced and improved by a global team of volunteers. Most IBS users either quickly outgrow its simple functionality, or become frustrated finding and applying the various patches and enhancements available on the net. Migration to Rainbow is a natural evolution.
