Description: 
Groove Server 2007 extends Groove 2007 client software with centralized management, data relay, and data integration services.
Groove Server is a set of three server software applications:
  • Groove Manager provides management services such as account configuration, policy setting, and usage reporting.
  • Groove Relay provides data relay services to transmit data between Groove 2007 clients when they cannot connect directly.
  • Groove Data Bridge provides a centralized platform for integration services to enable developers to build custom solutions that connect Groove workspaces with centralized enterprise data sources. Note: Data Bridge requires a dedicated machine with no Groove client or other Groove server application installed.

No client access licenses (CALs) are needed for Groove Server. Groove 2007 desktop application software is required to access Groove Server 2007.

Installing this product requires a licence key and installation media. Within 14 days of placing your order, instructions for obtaining the licence key will be sent to your organisation's registered e-mail address and free installation media will be delivered to your organisation's registered address.

Features: 
  • Under the Software Assurance program, customers acquire the right to install any new release of products covered in the agreement during the term of their coverage.
  • Groove Server Manager’s Web-based console provides access to all related management and administration activities, including directory integration, security policies and public key infrastructure (PKI) integration, user identity management, component management, data recovery, reporting, and auditing.
  • Groove Relay’s store-and-forward service facilitates data transmission when recipient clients are offline or behind a firewall and when transmitting clients transmit a large amount of data or have a slow connection.
  • Groove Data Bridge can be used to develop custom applications that give customers, partners, suppliers, and other third parties security-enhanced access to enterprise business data without requiring VPN software or extranet access.
  • Groove Data Bridge includes out-of-the-box services to archive data contained in Groove workspaces.
