For large corporates, N-PLEX Mobile holds the potential for integrating SMS into distributed business applications. N-PLEX Hub N-PLEX Internet server is at the heart of N-PLEX Hub, but instead of acting as a message switch for mail users, it is tightly integrated with connectivity modules for all the prevailing mail systems: Notes, Exchange, cc:Mail, Microsoft Mail, and the Internet. These are all managed both locally and remotely by the ISOCOR Management Center. N-PLEX Hub Diagram In addition to address mapping, and content conversion for all the supported mail environments, a Global Directory Server component is used as a common repository for all the enterprise's address book details, and DirSync modules for each mail environment ensure that local updates are reflected in the Directory. Global Directory Services Setting New Standards for Information Storage, Access and Maintenance The ISOCOR Directory Services product family consists of a suite of shrink-wrapped products and application tools that, when used in conjunction with ISOCOR or third-party products, form a complete solution for enterprise-level messaging and directory needs: Global Directory Server (GDS) . GDS is a robust, high-performance LDAP server, combined with a 1993 X.500 Directory System Agent (DSA) for storing, managing and updating important directory information. Global Directory Navigator (GDN). GDN is an easy-to-use, Windows-based tool for browsing and administering GDS. ISOGATE DirSync Plus. These directory synchronization products automatically propogate address book updates between the various address books of different messaging systems. Directory Import / Export Utility. The Directory Import/Export Utilities facilitate the transfer of data from third-party databases into and out of GDS. GDS Diagram ISOCOR Programming Interfaces. ISOCOR APIs , such as IDAL and third-party development kits, such as ActiveX, simplify the development of complementary applications by providing programming interfaces to directory information stored in GDS. These tools are available from ISOCOR on a system sale basis. ISOPLEX™ Secure, Reliable Messaging The ISOPLEX range of X.400 messaging servers supports all the features expected by service providers and large enterprises, available on a wide range of platforms from Windows NT to multi-processor, fault-tolerant minicomputers. ISOPLEX allows users and applications to exchange messages with other systems that support either X.400 or Internet protocols on private or public networks using LAN and/or WAN interfaces. ISOPLEX supports exchanges via OSI and/or TCP/IP protocols over X.25, APS, LAN and ISDN media. Featuring the most powerful Management Center in the industry, ISOPLEX combines the advanced communications features of CCITT 1988/1992 X.400 with managed, sophisticated message routing for reliable electronic transport of business documents worldwide. ISOPLEX’s powerful capabilities can be directly accessed by applications using the XMC API, which allows developers to build specialized X.400 messaging clients without an in-depth knowledge of the technology. ISOCOR’s intelligent routing engine works to find a reliable path for data-passing, even when no direct server-to-server connection is available. ISOPLEX on UNIX and Windows NT offers a robust Message Store which can be accessed directly over LANs, WANs, dial-up and the Internet. PLEXLINK Desktop Products for Internet Mail . . . and Beyond PLEXLINK provides a set of software applications and Service Providers based on the extended Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) that is integrated into Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 and accessible by any MAPI-aware application. Components provided include: Internet and X.400 MAPI Mail transports. Customers who need both Internet and ISO Standards can use these providers to access ISOCOR’s award-winning N-PLEX high-performance backbone server or any Internet/X.400-compatible server. Desktop Diagram Open Directory providers that link any MAPI applications to globally-distributed databases such as ISOCORÕs Global Directory Server (GDS). PLEXLINK provides Pedi (X.435) extensions for the structure and transmission of EDI messages via X.400 networks.

The ISOGATE Plus range consists of: ISOGATE Plus for SMTP/MIME: Rich support for Internet standards such as MIXER/RFC 1327, MIME (RFC 2046-7), uuencode (RFC 1154), and Delivery Status Notifications (RFC 1891-4). ISOGATE Plus for Exchange: Proxy addressing allows all Exchange users on a site to reach X.400 and Internet worlds via a single gateway, rather than needing connectors for each Exchange server. ISOGATE Plus for Lotus Notes: Tunneling capability allows remote Notes sites to communicate over a robust messaging backbone. ISOGATE Plus for Microsoft Mail: Full support for Microsoft Mail features, plus simple and flexible access to the messaging backbone and other mail environments. ISOGATE Plus for cc:Mail: Links directly to the Lotus messaging API (VIM), giving comprehensive support for cc:Mail features and advanced address mapping. Directory Synchronization via X.500 ISOGATE DirSync Plus modules for each ISOGATE Plus product synchronize local changes in address books against an X.500 directory such as Global Directory Server. This eliminates a universal drain on system administrator resources and enhances effective corporate communications. DirSync for SMTP/MIME also considerably simplifies the administrator's task by allowing all the diverse messaging environments in an enterprise to be represented under a single Internet domain. Directory synchronization address changes in cc:Mail, Microsoft Mail or Lotus Notes environments are mirrored automatically via the X.500 directory. Sophisticated filtering capabilities allow specification of included and excluded address areas to be synchronized in either direction. All ISOGATE DirSync Plus and ISOGATE Plus components are remotely manageable with the ISOCOR Management Center, sharing configuration information wherever possible and applicable.
