The goals of rockhopper are to:

• provide 100% reliability, and
• provide a user-friendly and productive environment

This has been achieved by building rockhopper using some of the most respected and efficient software systems available today. The Linux operating system is renowned for its rock-solid reliability: up-time for Linux systems is measured in months or years, not hours or days. With its low cost of ownership, it provides an unbeatable combination of stability and value. The MySQL™ database is famous for its speed and power: it offers performance which surpasses that of the "big iron" databases in many areas. Add to that the use of popular web-based technologies, to offer a system that can be accessed just as easily from a web browser as it can be from popular desktop PC tools, and you have flexibility and ease of access which is second to none.

Penguin Blue, the company behind rockhopper, is a new company in name only. We have a development team with well over 80 years' combined experience that created the original version of Carry, one of the most popular and respected courier systems ever. We understand the needs of the courier and similar industries and have built upon our experience to produce what is literally the latest and greatest courier system on the market today.
