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 a SQL Server compatible database, which has
no file or database size limitations. 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
512
MB 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.
