[edit] Architecture
hipergate is a 100% pure Java, server-based application. That means you only need a web browser to access to all features. Any Servlet/JSP compatible web-server can handle it.
Information is stored in a Relational Database. In 2.x releases, you can use PostgreSQL, Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server. Newer 3.x versions can use MySQL 5, IBM DB2 and Cloudscape.
