ageflex is an enterprise-level application that runs on
Microsoft Windows. It provides the mission critical
infrastructure you need to run a 24 x 7, lights-out
production business. You can configure it to run on
any number of servers, depending on the volume of
projects you need to support. Adding additional
capacity is extremely quick and easy. New servers
simply become available as soon as they are added and
licensed.
There is no need to restart server clusters or
schedule downtime just because your variable
publishing business has grown, and you need to
produce a higher volume of projects.
Pageflex uses a queue-based design for load balancing.
Each queue can be dedicated to a particular type of
task. For example, you can dedicate one queue to
providing the rapid response times needed for online
editing sessions, while you dedicate another queue to
running an intensive 100,000-record, full-color,
database personalization project. Neither task
interferes with the other’s performance.
Automatic failover and backup servers keep the
system running unattended 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. There is no single point of failure. Centralized
administrative tools and logging features let you assess
the health and performance of the system in real time.
