Enterprise Package

Licensing model

The enterprise package uses concurrent licensing. This means that multiple users of lobodms share one lobodms license. The number of licenses required may vary, depending on the application and the actual workload. We estimate an average one lobodms license for every four users. Individual licenses can be extended at any time, if needed.

Performance

The enterprise package is designed for applications using a server with any number of processors and any number of Recherche Clients.

Clustering (failover and load balancing)

We recommend the use of a cluster so as to be able to automatically switch to the backup system. This refers to the online operation of one or more backup systems. The system is typically configured the same way as the original system and automatically takes over its tasks in case of error. The license for operating in a "failover cluster" environment as well as for "load balancing" on two nodes is included in the scope of delivery for the lobodms enterprise package.

Archive functionality (extended)

Documents must be retained due to legal or organizational aspects. Existing process systems (ERP, CRM, ...) do not allow an unlimited retention period for documents. There is thus a need to store these documents in an archive in an audit-proof manner. In order to manage the documents independently from the creating application, the documents are stored in the central lobodms "document repository".

lobodms is used for audit-proof, long-term archiving of documents. It is therefore recommended to use this as a central system to ensure high standards of data security and availability. lobodms supports various storage technologies (e.g. drive arrays, optical media, magnetic tapes or storage systems such as HSM, SAN, ...).
It thereby becomes possible to respond flexibly to the security and availability requirements of individual document types. Based on the above-mentioned aspects, the use of a redundantly designed central lobodms that takes over the company’s entire document archiving is recommended.

As a standard feature, the lobodms enterprise package supports archiving on: local hard disc drive (HDD), network drive, single drive (CD, DVD, BluRay), single drive WORM/WORM tape and also provides extension to Netapp and Jukebox (CD, DVD, BlueRay, WORM) archiving.
