History
Developer's Blog
The project began in 2009 as a bootable USB stick at BRERC, the Environmental Records Centre for the West of England. Server-on-a-Stick ran from a spare PC on the local network and provided occasional interesting demos. The potential cost-effectiveness of this approach was immediately apparent.
In the next ten years the project grew to fill a number of gaps in the centre's day-to-day IT operations, as well as delivering information to a wider audience. First a sophisticated database was established, and then a comprehensive web serving capability added.
Today the LIVE Services infrastructure comprises an innovative array of local and remote live-booting servers, working together to offer potentially ground-breaking applications. We strive to add value by combining existing freely available resources, and continue to eschew malware.
The features being introduced in 2024 are all part of an initiative to supercharge online data access.
