Openfire is an open source real time communication (RTC) server
Openfire uses the only widely adopted open protocol for instant messaging and group chat, XMPP (also called Jabber). Openfire is incredibly easy to setup and administer, but offers rock-solid security and performance. Jive Software leads the open source source project at Igniterealtime.org and uses the technology to power real- time features in our Clearspace product.
Ignite Realtime
Igniterealtime is a professionally-led open source community composed of end-users and developers around the world who are interested in applying innovative, open-standards-based Real Time Collaboration to their businesses. We're aimed at disrupting proprietary, non-open standards-based systems and invite you to participate in what's already one of the biggest and most active open source communities anywhere.
Openfire Enterprise
The Openfire Enterprise commercial product has been discontinued and much of the technology is now part of the Openfire Open Source project. Existing customers of Openfire Enterprise with active support contracts will continue to be supported. For full details, please visit the Openfire Enterprise End of Life FAQ.
Our Vision
We use Openfire to build cutting-edge real-time features in Clearspace and to power our cloud services. Openfire provides a rich and mature technology base and leveraging the open standard XMPP makes our software more extensible. Jive Software continually invests in the Openfire open source project in order to bring innovative features to our commercial customers.
