The MODX development team did a great job and released the next important version of Revolution. MODX Revolution 2.1 is officially released and contains native support for Microsoft SQL Server.
“From now on, you can run MODX Revolution completely on a Microsoft technology stack, including Microsoft SQL Server. This provides tremendous opportunities for partners of MODX Solution Partners who can now sell solutions in environments that are built on the basis of commercial servers and licensed software. ”Says Ryan Thrash, CEO of MODX, LLC. “The Microsoft market also receives important benefits from our software: a flexible web content management platform, complete creative freedom and a reliable update cycle between versions. Companies operating on the Microsoft platform can get all this backed by support through Commercial Support and SLA programs. ”
IDC report shows that Microsoft Windows leads the server sales market with a pre-installed OS with a share of 48.9% of profits in the first quarter of 2010. Companies that invest in the Microsoft platform can take advantage of the most flexible open source CMS platform while using existing infrastructure and servers, using the skills of existing specialists, their experience and tools.
Gianugo Rabellino, senior director for work with the open-source community at Microsoft, says:

“We are absolutely happy to see how the spark of the close work of PHP and Microsoft developers has grown into a release that offers full support for SQL Server and the Microsoft technologies stack. For us, this release is another mark on our journey towards greater interoperability in technology. The choice for developers and business was the main goal of our last SQL Server JumpIn event! Camp held in November. And we are very pleased to see that the goal has been achieved in this MODX release. We thank the MODX team for their contribution and cooperation, which allowed us to achieve this goal. ”
In addition, MODX Revolution 2.1 offers improvements in site performance through improvements and optimization in the caching subsystem. These changes qualitatively affect the increase in page loading speed, reduce the load on the server and offer more opportunities to scale to multiple servers and data clusters.
A significant change presented in MODX Revolution 2.1 is the cleaning up of thousands of lines of outdated code, which reduced the size of the system by 35%. In this regard, it is important for teams managing web sites to test existing web solutions before deploying site updates to Revolution 2.1. For organizations that need support to validate their sites, MODX recommends working with MODX Solution Partner partners
