	Krak des Chevaliers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Krak des Chevaliers (also Crac des Chevaliers, "fortress of the knights" in a mixture of Arabic and French) was the headquarters of the Knights Hospitaller in Syria during the Crusades.
		The castle is located east of Tripoli in the Homs Gap, atop a 650-meter high cliff along the only route from Antioch to Beirut and the Mediterranean Sea.
		T.E. Lawrence believed Krak des Chevaliers was the greatest of the Crusader castles and "the most wholly admirable castle in the world." Today, the fortress is owned by the Syrian government, and it is designated as a World Heritage Site along with Qal’at Salah El-Din (Fortress of Saladin).

	[No title]
		Krak des Chevaliers, respect to other fortifications, was in a favorable geographic position because in that period the main zones on which it was concentrated the defensive efforts or attack efforts was Jerusalem (Israel), Damietta (Egypt), Edessa (Armenia), Constantinople (Turkey), Aleppo and Damascus (Syria) all enough far from the Krak.
		The Krak was attacked in 1163 always from Nureddin whose troops met with those of crusaders in Buquai' ah in the vicinities of the castle.
		This would have to confirm that the Krak had an important role of defense of the coastal positions of the zone, but that in the more general within the clash “Crusaders –Muslims” it was not among the priorities of conquest from Muslims.

		Meanwhile, Krak passed into the keeping of the Count of Tripoli, who handed it on, in 1142, to the Knights Hospitallers (like the Templars and the Ransomers, a military religious order) from whom it took the name "des Chevaliers".
		The single ward of the original eleventh-century castle covered about the same area as the later inner enclosure, and some of the remains of the early work on the crest of the spur are incorporated in the existing building.
		The south side of the Krak was the most vulnerable and Sultan Baybars added a strong bastion to it.

		Krak's core business since 1770 has been business information, starting with basic trade information that is now enriched with more detailed information such as names of board members and directors, key figures, and customers.

		With its command over the valley between Homs and Tripoli, and being a model of perfection of medieval fortification, this Castle was never besieged or taken by storm.
		It was taken over by the Hospitallers in 1142, for the defense against the threat of Zengi in Aleppo.
		After that the Krak was kept in the hands of the crusaders, although it was damaged by a couple of earthquakes, and was rebuilt in its final form in the 13th century.

		However, the power of the sect was not absolute, as it was eventually destroyed by the invading Mongols, when its defences were betrayed by a spy pretending to be a follower.

		Located in the mountains of northwestern Syria, Krak des Chevelairs exerted a stranglehold over the Homs Gap and thus controlled the flow of goods and traffic between the Mediterranean and the inland cities, as well as the land trade between Asia Minor and the Holy Land.

		But this solution is only better from a user perspective, not from a business perspective since it will require more server capacity.
		The lack of server capacity may become a competitive disadvantage to Krak and the company needs to be aware of the fact that competitors can attack by providing easier access to search results (as one of several new interface elements) to gain competitive advantage in the eyes of users.
		PS: Nice feature: a cookie recalls your last search and selected search area, useful for heavy users of the service but it doesn't solve the problem for new users and users who need access to all available search areas (for instance, phone number search requires searches in the databases for both persons and companies.
