Easy to Learn, Easy to Use
Magnolia's driving design principle is that it should be easy to use for all parties involved, including authors, developers and administrators. In a world that is more demanding every day, providing an environment that minimizes training effort, speeds up time to market and ultimately reduces staff turnover is a smart way of acting in the interest of your enterprise.
Extensible
The packaging module included in Magnolia allows for frictionless deployment of custom code based on a module concept that enables developers to add functionality without touching the source code of Magnolia. The templating mechanisms built into Magnolia make it possible to customize the page layout without writing a single line of Java code.
Scalable
Magnolia has been designed for heavy-load enterprise websites. It has a low memory footprint, a smart cache, built-in clustering capabilities and a distributed deployment architecture that decouples authoring from publishing. Public servers can be load-balanced to provide more throughput and availability.
Open Source
Magnolia has been Open Source from day one. Its code is available under the GPL license and Magnolia includes best-of-breed Open Source projects. Source-code availability is a major benefit when building value-added websites, because it eases integration tasks a great deal.
