Why APL Cloud?

• Easy To Use

  Today's new UNICODE font formats are standard and commonplace. The specialized APL symbols can now be entered, saved, and shared over emails, in databases, and within files. When saving NOTEPAD files, select the UNICODE option to support a full range of specialized characters including foreign languages and the APL character set.

• Think In Arrays

  APL is all about data arrays. The APL built-in functions and operators leverage a variety of data array shapes and content types. A+B works the same for 2 simple numbers as it does for two multi-dimensional arrays. Also, simple non-dimensional scalars can be applied to any "N" dimensional array without changes to the function.

• Internet Presence

  APLcloud has made it easy to build Internet-ready applications, web sites and web services with APL. We leverage the best APL engines including Dyalog APL and APL web servers (MiServer). Build, debug and deploy fully functional web services with APL in minutes that can communicate to any other Web Service on the Internet (SOAP and REST servers with HTML, JSON, XML data).

• Performance

  APL has reached new levels of performance. Dyalog APL has been optimized to execute programs using parallel processing techniques. Web service calls to MiServer web server are lightning fast and support sub-calls to a variety of back-end programs and web services.

• Hardware

  APLcloud.com is powered by the Amazon Web Service (AWS) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) also called "Cloud Computing". The sky is the limit and you can easily expand to more CPU, RAM, DISK and NETWORK capacity as needed. The internal network can support up to 1 Gigabit per second per server (xlarge instances).

• Security

  We offer three levels of security. User login and server access with your APLcloud account, configurable server firewall software, and network-level firewall. All APLcloud servers are monitored for performance and abuse to help prevent problems before they happen.
