What is Magnolia CMS?
Magnolia CMS is an open-source Web Content Management System that focuses on providing an intuitive user experience in an enterprise-scale system. Its combination of ease-of-use and a flexible, standards-based Java architecture has attracted enterprise customers.
Magnolia CMS is not a framework to build web applications, like JSF or Struts. However, Magnolia CMS can be used to manage data. You can for instance manage products and use them as content for Web pages.
Author and Public Instances
Magnolia CMS is distributed as two web-applications, one acting as the authoring instance and the other as the public environment. This allows for better security, having one application inside your firewall and one outside. It also enables clustering configurations.
Author instance is where all authors work. It typically resides in a secure location such as behind a corporate firewall, inaccessible from the Internet. The author instance publishes content to public instances.
Public instance receives the public content and exposes it to visitors on the Web. It resides in a public, reachable location. You can have more than one public instances, serving the same or different content.
