FaxCore Server
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 SQL Compliant Database FaxCore ships with a SQL Server compatible database. FaxCore is also compatible with SQL Sever and other ANSI compliant databases.
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
specifications:
Windows Server 2003
Pentium 4 Processor with HyperThreading
1 GB RAM
1 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.
