 The ownCloud server stores user files in standard file system formats, and can use most file systems. With ownCloud, if you can mount storage on your server, ownCloud can use it. Practically, this means just about any standard file system and storage device combination can be used – ownCloud is file system and storage agnostic. 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 [...]

+While ownCloud provides the ability to manage and protect, integrate and extend file sync and share in the enterprise, ownCloud still provides the core file sync and share functionality that users demand.

+Server Architecture Overview
+============================
+At its core, ownCloud is a web application, written in PHP, running on top of a webserver such as IIS, if on Windows or Apache, if on Linux. This PHP application manages every other aspect of ownCloud, from user management to plug-ins, file sharing and storage. Attached to the PHP-application is a database, where ownCloud stores users, user-shared file details, plug-in application states, and the ownCloud file cache to accelerate access to files. As ownCloud accesses the database through [...]
+To make it possible to access and use many different types of storage, ownCloud has a built-in storage abstraction layer. As a result, ownCloud can leverage just about any storage protocol that can be mounted on your ownCloud server – from CIFS, NFS and GFS2, to cluster file systems like Gluster. Other optional storage can also be mounted on the system using an optional external file system application, enabling admins and users to mount FTPs, WebDAV, CIFS and even external cloud storage [...]
