FAXCORE ARCHITECTURE

FaxCore Client
All FaxCore client interfaces are 100% pure HTML browser applications.

Key features include:
Pure Web Client for users and administration functions allows access to the FaxCore Server from wherever you are.

Zero Client Software eliminates the need for Client software distribution and installation.

Rich HTML and DHTML FaxCore’s web applications require no Java or Active X, making it enterprise security friendly

FaxCore provides both end users and administrators with robust 100% web based browser interfaces. This eliminates the need for the installation of any client software, and provides the ability for FaxCore users and administrators to access FaxCore from any computer anywhere in the world, without sacrificing ease of use and functionality they are accustomed to from traditional fat clients.

FaxCore interfaces are 100% pure HTML and DHTML, contain no Java or Active X controls, and work over standard HTTP and HTTPS (SSL) protocols, effectively eliminating any security concerns associated with browser based applications.

FaxCore web interfaces are available for the following browsers:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x

FaxCore Partitioning
Faxcore allows partitioning of these services across any/all servers in the Faxcore network - providing an unlimited number of configurations to meet the specific fault tolerance and scalability requirements of each customer’s unique usage profile. For example, customers using primarily server side rendering of user documents can separate the Faxcore Rendering service onto it’s own set of servers in order to remove some of the load from their Faxcore servers that are sending/receiving faxes through the FaxAgent service.

FaxCore Administration and Monitoring
Faxcore provides central administration and monitoring of all servers, services, and application queues through intelligent web browser interfaces. Administrators can see exactly what is happening in the system and exactly what messages are currently being processed.

Fax Enable Applications:

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 Database
FaxCore ships with the award winning MySQL database, which has no file or database size limitations. FaxCore is also compatible with SQL Sever, Oracle, 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.

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

Windows 2000 Server SP2 or later

512 MB RAM
250 MB to 1 GB disk space (depends on archiving needs) **
