Multiple image servers

If you have extremely high document retrieval volumes, then Acordex's high volume servers will meet your requirements. Safekeep and OpenWeb run on the rock-solid Mach kernel UNIX used in the Macintosh System X. Paired with a rack mounted PowerPC computer with dual gigabit ethernet, this combination will reliably serve thousands of users.

one server can send TIFF images to users at a hundred pages per second.
one server can accept uploads at over ten pages per second.
multiple servers are nearly linear in adding capacity. For example two servers can accept uploads at 20 pages per second.
Safekeep's non-redundant technology keeps disk array costs contained.

For even higher volume demands, our multiple server technology provides non-redundant load balancing. Image uploads and image retrievals always hit just one server. And each server is capable of handling over a hundred TIFF pages per second!

Traditional multi-server http servers use mirrored or redundant computer configurations to support a large number of users accessing one web site. This is not optimal for document imaging. The very large storage space makes redundant disk drive arrays too expensive. The probability that many people will upload or download the same document at the same time is much lower for image document archives than for typical web sites. For these reasons, Safekeep's non-redundant technology provides a more linear growth in capacity to serve extremely large user bases as the number of servers increases.
