LAMP is an acronym used to describe a web architecture in open source world. It describes web application built on Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP. In general it describes open source operating system, open source web server, open source database server and open source programming language.

Advantages of LAMP:

	Cost : As each layer in the LAMP stack is open source, software project can be implemented with development costs and hardware costs. Thus initial startup costs are cut down significantly. There are various open source projects available in LAMP stack for eg. Joomla, Mambo, Drupal, OS Commerce and many more. Depending on your requirements we can identify a suitable open source project, customize and deploy the project for you . This can in effect bring project costs further down.
	Scalability : LAMP architecture is horizontally scalable. Each layer in the stack can grow on its own and is loosely coupled with the other. The shared-nothing architecture of PHP where each request is completely distinct and separate from any other request leads to infinite horizontal scalability in the language itself. PHP encourages you to push scalability issues to the layers that require it. It is also easy to maintain and thus to expand.
