Does the RICAR system support remote Servers and services?
A. Yes, the RICAR system is a 3-tier architecture allowing all of the services to be distributed across multiple servers throughout your organization’s LAN & WAN. Centralized and remote servers work together to balance the workload between corporate locations. Processing per server is minimized and network bandwidth utilization is reduced and/or scheduled to improve performance. The RICAR Manager has intelligence built within allowing images and files to be cached remotely, stored centrally and then renders the closest image/file to users that retrieve an image or file ensuring that the minimum bandwidth necessary is consumed. Images and files captured at remote locations also have several options for long-term arching to a central server; remote images and files can be duplicated and archived immediately and continuously, or be scheduled to replicate in a time-frame (i.e. hourly, daily, etc.) that provides the least amount of impact on an already busy network.
