Advanced Product Features Transfers large or small messages with file attachments of almost any type or size Serves as a powerful document transport backbone Supports thousands of messaging clients Enables a system administrator to manage hundreds of servers on different platforms from a central or remote PC Can be monitored via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Compatible with many third-party management centers Provides connectivity with X.400 public messaging networks including the Internet and most value-added networks Works over X.25, dial-up lines or the Internet Optionally uses X.500 directories, such as ISOCOR Global Directory Server™ (GDS), to access routing information or distribution lists Works with other ISOCOR products to provide versatile client-server linking and interoperability between various LAN-based e-mail packages Provides special features for telecom service providers (ADMDs) and other large users Available on most industry standard platforms and operating systems ISOPLEX: The Hub of a Business Communication Backbone Based on ISOCOR's flexible, high-performance architecture, ISOPLEX is designed to handle the high throughput requirements of major corporate and government organizations, as well as public service carriers. By combining multi-protocol message routing with a powerful message store and wide area communications services, ISOPLEX can operate as the key backbone server for departments, divisions, and global enterprises. ISOPLEX provides an X.400 Message Transfer Agent and an optional Message Store. Versatile and easy to use, ISOPLEX offers the following key features: Ability to transfer large messages containing file attachments of almost any type or size Guaranteed delivery for use as a mission-critical business application Document transport within and beyond the boundaries of an enterprise network Administration of large ISOPLEX server networks from a central or remote PC using ISOCOR's innovative Management Center Direct client-server linking through ISOCOR's optional X.400 P7 Message Store that can support thousands of users across LAN and dial-up connections, and wireless systems via X.445 (APS) and modem protocols Direct connectivity via ISOCOR's PLEXLINK modules to most popular applications including Microsoft® Word, Excel and PowerPoint, Novell® GroupWise, Lotus® cc:Mail™ and others Direct interoperability through optional ISOCOR's ISOGATE Plus gateways to LAN-based e-mail packages, such as Lotus Notes and cc:Mail, Microsoft Mail, SMTP including Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME), etc. Interoperability and connectivity with most public messaging networks (ADMDs) and commercial message servers, including Microsoft Exchange and ISOCOR's N-PLEX™ Internet Server Support for X.500 directories (such as ISOCOR's Global Directory Server) allows messages to be addressed to recipients by specifying either the DN or the O/R address, or distribution lists residing in the directory (created/managed from the Management Center). Distribution lists support comes with expansion recursion detection, permissions checks and choice of delivery and non-delivery report recipients Variety of transport connectivity options, including TCP/IP (RFC 1006), X.25 (including PAD), and X.445 (APS) An SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol - RFC 1157) agent allows ISOPLEX to be monitored by standard SNMP managers. It features support for the standard MADMAN MIB (RFC 1565, RFC 1566) Configuration of document format conversion utilities (from the Management Center) Message Store ISOPLEX provides both local access, and remote access through its X.400 P7 Message Store (MS) option. When used with compatible client products, such as ISOCOR's ISOPRO or PLEXLINK, the MS provides access to PC users almost anywhere in the world via dial-up links or TCP/IP. It also provides users with convenient access to the same in-tray regardless of whether they are in the office or traveling. As users migrate to Microsoft's new MAPI desktop access technology, ISOCOR PLEXLINK can give users direct P7 connectivity to the ISOPLEX MS from ISOPRO and most popular MAPI applications such as Microsoft Exchange and cc:Mail clients. In a large system configuration running on high speed machines, the ISOPLEX Message Store can support thousands of users across LAN and dial-up connections, as well as wireless connections via APS and modem protocols. The Message Store Manager utility, designed to help to maintain large MSs, provides the ability to delete messages, undelete messages marked for deletion and log a reference to the message. Those actions apply on messages matching certain criteria, including message size, message priority, and entry status in the MS (e.g. read/unread). The Management Center ISOPLEX features a powerful and intuitive Management Center that represents a major advance in the administration, cost control, and management of large messaging networks. Available on Microsoft Windows or Motif®, the Management Center uses an advanced client-server mechanism operating over TCP/IP (RFC 1006), X.25 (including PAD), and X.445 (APS). The Management Center enables a network administrator to handle a wide variety of tasks: Manage hundreds of ISOPLEX servers on different platforms from a central or remote PC Access real-time statistics and logs regarding network activity Efficiently configure servers using a shared management information base rather than retyping redundant information Dynamically reconfigure the messaging environment without disrupting service to end users Start and stop ISOPLEX operation, locally and remotely A comprehensive, extensible and configurable (e.g. when values exceed a configurable threshold) set of server alarms provides protection for the messaging environment and helps troubleshoot network problems. Industry Leading Performance ISOPLEX is fast and efficient. High-performance features that are built into the product include: Optimized production line stack reduces CPU and memory usage by exchanging pointers rather than actual data between various layers Message objects expose critical message properties for efficient processing Shared file attachments minimize disk space use for the storage of messages Open Standards Since ISOPLEX is based on X.400, it can natively interperate with most value-added networks and third-party messaging products, such as Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes X.400 MTA. As it supports the P7 protocol, it is compatible with standard remote user agents such as MaXware MailMaX.400. ISOPLEX accesses X.500 services through the DAP protocol, so it may be connected to any standard directory. The SNMP protocol for network management is also supported, allowing ISOPLEX to be monitored by standard SNMP manager applications. Accounting Module The optional Accounting Module provides a detailed and real time log of all messages passing through the ISOPLEX server, according to a user defined format. These details include cost-relevant data so that storage, processing, and communications costs can be charged back to individual users or subscribing MTAs. Closed User Group Module This optional module enables system administrators to reduce unauthorized use and unnecessary expenses. The Closed User Group Module lets the administrator specify which users can send messages through ISOPLEX and to whom, and set parameters for transmission time, priority, and message size. The same restrictions can be set for receiving messages. ISOCOR X.500 Global Directory Server Family of Products Based on open, highly scalable and standards based technology, the ISOCOR X.500 Global Directory Server family of products is a powerful solution for midsize to large enterprises needing to provide a common, global directory to a vast population of users while ensuring the accuracy, timeliness and security of information. Providing Application Developer Access to the Messaging Services In order to simplify the process of developing complementary applications to ISOPLEX Messaging Services, three different types of APIs are available on the server: ASCII interface (packaged with ISOPLEX). An extremely easy to use interface to quickly create simple messaging applications. XMC (X.400 Messaging Client) API. Designed to help programmers in developing efficient X.400 enabled applications or messaging clients (with or without remote capability), XMC API is intended primarily for use by systems integrators. X/Open API. An implementation of the X/Open AssociationŐs MT and OM API for connectivity to X.400. The XMC API also provides access to the client. Client application developers can also take advantage of PLEXLINK, which provides a MAPI interface to ISOCOR Messaging Servers (ISOPLEX) and Directories (GDS).
