XC Connect - Product Profile The Power to Manage, Create, Modify, and Share XC Connect is a robust communication solution that enables users to create, modify, and share personal and public Calendar, Contact, and Task items between and across any combination of:
XC Connect is not an email server. It does not touch or affect your current email implementation. This allows you the flexibility of maintaining your current email server/system in place, or choosing one that best suits your needs exclusive of your data collaboration requirements. The XC Connect solution consists of two components:
Who is it for? Xchange Network's solutions are for companies and organizations that need to communicate efficiently and effectively:
How it Works: XC Connect consists of two components, the XCN Server and XC Connect Client. These two components work hand-in-hand to provide you with a flexible and reliable method of sharing data between and across mixed-desktop environments. XCN Server: The XCN Server manages users, their permissions, and any shared data. It determines, based on the permissions that you specify, which user should have access to what data in terms of visibility and access (read, write, delete privileges). Administration of the XCN Server is accomplished via any web browser, allowing the system administrator access to the XCN Server from virtually anywhere. Plus, XCN Server administration is simple and straightforward, enabling users with modest computer skills the ability to manage the solution. XC Connect Client: The XC Connect Client, installed on each user’s computer, handles the data transfer between each users’ Outlook, Entourage, iCAL and Address Book, and/or Evolution application and the XCN Server. The XC Connect client integrates seamlessly with desktop applications without any effort on the part of the user. A “web-interface” is also available. There is no limit to the number of ‘client’ connections that the XCN Server will support. Security: All data maintained on the XCN Server is encrypted, as is the transmission between the XCN Server and the XC Connect Client. Support for LDAP is also included. Synchronizing: XC Connect will only sync data that is either new or has been modified. This greatly reduces network bandwidth load and maximizes the performance of your system. Naturally, this means that the first sync to the XCN Server will probably be the longest, as users sync up current folder data. Sync interval: You can specify the sync interval to the server, from as short as every minute to every 99999 minutes, or select your syncs to occur on a manual basis. Offline access: All user data is maintained locally on each user’s computer as well as on the XCN Server. This means that if you disconnect from the network, you maintain all your data up to the point of your last sync to the XCN Server. Changes made to shared data, whether made by other users or by yourself, are updated between your computer and the XCN Server the next time you connect to the network and synchronize. Portability of Clients: The XC Connect Client may be installed on as many computers as you wish without charge. Our pricing model is based upon the number of “named users”, not the number of computers it is installed on. This means that you can install the XC Connect Client on multiple computers, allowing you to maintain your folders “in-sync” regardless of location, i.e. your office, your home office, or a remote location. Shared folders: XC Connect allows you to share your Personal Calendar, Contact, and/or Task folders, plus provides the ability to create and share new folders with specified users. You may select with whom to share and what level of access that you would like them to have (i.e., read-only, read/write, or read/write/delete). You may also create additional Calendar, Contact, and or Task folders (“Categories” in Entourage) with specific visibility to, and access by, selected users. XC Connect System Requirements: The XCN Server may be installed on a computer that you designate as the XC Connect “server”. Obviously, if your preference is towards the “Hosted” solution, XC Home/Small Office, then you don't need to to worry about this particular XCN Server section. Minimum system requirements for the installation of the XCN Server are: Hardware:
Operating System: We offer installation packages for the operating systems noted below. Note that the XCN Server may be installed on any computer that supports the Java Virtual Machine.
Ports used: XC Connect utilizes ports 80 and 10001. You may install the XCN Server on an existing Windows Server; If you have IIS running on that computer, a simple integration process with IIS is necessary. We provide you with all the details. The XC Connect Client may be installed on any computer or laptop. If necessary, the XC Connect Client and XCN Server may be installed on the same computer. Minimum system requirements: Hardware:
XC Connect Clients (also called ‘connectors’) are available for: Simple System Administration: Users and Folders are administrated through the XCN Administrative screen, which is accessible via a browser screen from any computer with access to the IP Address of the XC Server. Users and Group Folders may be created and user permissions to the folders granted. Users may be granted different permissions to different folders, providing tremendous flexibility and utility.
The Administration screen is accessible by both system administrators and users. Levels of access are defined by the users “role” (administrator, member, or guest). The Administration screen provides access and control for:
Pricing: XC Connect pricing is based on the number of ‘named users’. The licensing model of XC Connect is different from many groupware offerings – only users that are entered as users in the XCN Server Administration screen are counted. A virtual user function allows the administrator to create role-based accounts and a virtual domain function allows multiple domains to be supported on one server. XC Small/Medium Business and XC Enterprise: Licenses for XC Small/Medium Business and XC Enterprise are issued as Permanent Licenses.
XC Home/Small Office: Licenses for XC Home/Small Office (Hosted) are issued as Subscription Licenses.
