Faxcore - When Every Fax is Mission Critical

Server Architecture • • •

The FaxCore Server is architected with the same web-server-farm design that popular on-line retailers use to provide scalable and fault tolerant high volume Internet based services. This allows FaxCore to provide near linear n-tier scalability and complete fault tolerance, without the need for complicated clustering software or network configurations that are often required from traditional client-server based fax software.

Key features of the FaxCore Server architecture include:

N-tier scalability: FaxCore's web architecture provides the scalability and fault tolerance demanded by organizations today through open and proven web-server-farm architectures. New FaxCore Servers can be added and removed to the network on the fly without needing to shut-down the system.

Open MS SQL Database: FaxCore Standard ships with a SQL Express DB and FaxCore's Enterprise Server includes a MS SQL 2005 license. FaxCore can also run as an instance on existing corporate SQL 2005 servers.

Intelligent Server Discovery and Monitoring: All FaxCore servers, services, and related Fax Boards register with the central FaxCore Database each time they start-up, without the need to pre-define the server through administration screens. Once a server registers, in can be monitored and administered through the FaxCore administration web pages.

Powerful Document Server: FaxCore includes a lightweight document server that gives you precise control on where documents are stored on your servers. Inbound and outbound faxes can be automatically partitioned by FaxCore the way you want them on your drives, allowing simple archiving and intelligent file naming.

Microsoft .NET: FaxCore is built natively using Microsoft .NET technologies and provides powerful SDKs for both native .NET development, and XML based web service interfaces.

System Requirements • • •

FaxCore servers running any of the FaxCore server components (Rendering, Faxing, Database, Websites) must meet the following minimum specifications:

Windows Server 2003, SP2
Pentium 4 Processor with HyperThreading
2 GB RAM
10 GB disk space (depends on archiving needs) **

** The FaxCore software requires approximately 250 MB of disk space for installed files (including 100 MB of pre-allocated database file storage). Total Disk requirements will vary depending on a number factors. These include fax volume and how long user faxes are retained in the system. Each fax page image stored in FaxCore requires approximately 30-60 KB of storage space.
