 3.    **Extension:** extend functionality through extensive APIs.
 4.    **Easy to use access:** still consumer-grade services are implemented.
 
+Basic Requirements
+==================
+Software, that you need to have at least on your sever before you can install/use ownCloud:
+* A Server-computer, running a common operation system
+* A Database Server (e.g. MySQL)
+* a webserver (e.g apache). 
+* PHP

The storage can be physically located in your data center (or be “mounted” to third-party storage), enabling you to protect your files as you would any other elem [...]
+It is simple to Integrate ownCloud with existing IT infrastructure through the use of plug-in applications. These plug-ins can be enabled through the server control panel, provide functionality such as Active Directory (AD) and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) integration for user account provisioning and authentication. If an integration is not included out of the box, it is simple to extend ownCloud through open APIs and plug-in applications. Features such as the online tex [...]
