FaxCore

FaxCore is 21st century network fax software: a high-performance engine designed to deliver fax traffic over enterprise networks of any size. The only fax solution built on the Microsoft .NET platform, FaxCore lets you fax enable the entire organization, seamlessly. Bring faxing into the electronic messaging realm, integrate faxing with VoIP and eliminate fax machines by leveraging FaxCore's integration with leading MFPs from Xerox, Fuji-Xerox, Sharp, HP and more. FaxCore is technology that adapts to how you use fax every day. Not the other way around.

The FaxCore fax server leverages web and internet based technology to deliver cost effective and simple implementations. Built with a web services architecture, fault tolerance and scalability is easily achieved.

A pure web browser interface (Internet Explorer, FireFox & Safari), SMTP connector for email integration, LDAP compliant, SQL database, converged IP and support for Cisco's Call Manager, Avaya and other leading VoIP products are all standard features. They are not extra cost components.

These are the features required in a converged world. Customers are tired of legacy technologies and legacy prices. FaxCore understands that VoIP and converged IP customers want simplicity and the lower costs associated with today's new technologies.

FaxCore's web browser interface for users and administrators means no software to deploy and you don't have to be at your PC to send a fax, or administer the system.

By leveraging ASP.NET Web Controls, the rich functionality normally associated with a Fat Client is available to both Users and Administrators through a browser UI.

There is no need to install software on your mail server  • • •
A standard SMTP connector between your mail server and the FaxCore server means fewer problems and no barriers to upgrades.

FaxCore's SMTP Email Gateway provides email to fax functionality via direct sending to the FaxCore SMTP server, allowing you to fax enable your Exchange, Lotus Notes, or POP3 based mail server without installing any software on the server.

FaxCore's synchronization of users against Active Directory or Domino is done without requiring any schema modifications.

This allows administrators to quickly and easily add and maintain FaxCore users and permissions via their existing directories and databases via standard LDAP queries.

FaxCore Integrated SQL Server Support  • • •
FaxCore runs on the MS SQL database or FaxCore can attach to an external corporate SQL Server on the network to simplify backup, recovery and archiving.

FaxCore's Web Service SDK  • • •
FaxCore's WS/SOA SDK offers a straight forward and simple interface, reducing application integration to a matter of hours instead of days. The SDK can be used to integrate on any system with network access to the FaxCore environment. FaxCore provides web service APIs to send, receive, route, and administer fax services.

FaxCore's N-Tier Architecture  • • •
FaxCore's N-Tier Architecture is a true third generation Fax Server Solution. The low level design of FaxCore allows for scalability and fault tolerance with distributed processing. Legacy computer fax products such as WinFax and Microsoft Fax are client-dependant first generation, while client/server products like RightFax are second generation. FaxCore is a third generation solution and the only one that conforms to the N-Tier and web service paradigm.

Faxcore's Barcode Module  • • •
FaxCore's Barcode Module compliments workflow processes involving "boomerang documents" (you send it and you get it back). The FaxCore fax server can be configured to scan every page of a received fax for a barcode (when the Barcode Module is purchased). If a barcode is detected, the data within the barcode is stored with the fax record. The detection and decoding of barcodes on faxes can be applied to processes such as workflow applications and speed the indexing of faxes in document management solutions.

Scalable & Fault-Tolerant  • • •
FaxCore is architected with the same web services design that popular on-line retailers use to provide scalable and fault tolerant Internet based services. FaxCore's architecture enables organizations to duplicate and spread critical system processes across multiple PCs. For example, rather than putting all fax boards into a single server, spread them out over multiple PCs, each containing 50%, 25%, 20%, etc. of the fax boards and PSTN connections, thus eliminating single points of failure. This same concept can be applied to all of the critical fax server functions: Rendering, Document Storage, Presentation Services, and Event Processing. Faxcore is Fault Tolerant and scalable without clustering.

Automatic Archiving
FaxCore offers the most powerful document archiving available. Incoming faxes are immediately stored, indexed and can be retrieved with any web browser as JPEG, GIF, PDF or TIFF files.

Total Fax Tracking
Modeled after the browser-based tracking systems used by top shipping companies, FaxCore tracks incoming and outgoing faxes before, during and after transmission. Arrival confirmation, time of delivery, undeliverable notification, alternate fax numbers, transmission replay and much more.

Microsoft CRM integration
Fax directly from MS CRM and log all fax communications into the history file for each Company or Customer record. Send and receive faxes from CRM as easily as emails.

Fax-enable Applications
Leveraging our .NET architecture and Web Service/SOA SDK, developers can easily fax-enable CRM, ERP, Exchange, e-mail, and office productivity software with less than 10 lines of code.

The Dialogic BrookTrout Advantage
The Dialogic Brooktrout TR1034 fax boards and SR140 FoIP drivers set the industry standard in intelligent fax hardware. Dialogic and FaxCore, Inc. work closely together to deliver reliable, scalable and fault tolerant faxing solutions for Enterprises and Service providers alike

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.

Client Architecture:
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
