Global Routing
MESSAGEmanager Global Routing provides least cost routing, load sharing and redundancy and fallback for MESSAGEmanager Communications Server FAX applications.
Each FAX Server maintains in the Registry local performance statistics such as the number of fax lines, dialing rules and call costs, the number of messages waiting to be converted and/or sent for each priority, average conversion and transmission rates etc. Each server in a Global Routing Group is regularly updated with availability, cost of calls, processing capacity and current workload of all other servers in the group to enable host applications to readily determine available servers and the most appropriate server to process the message.
When a Client application such as Lotus Notes, Microsoft Exchange or SAP is ready to submit a message for transmission, it uses COM to pass the message destination, size and priority to the local Global Routing Service. Global Routing calculates for each server the likely time and cost to send the message, and then sorts the servers in ascending order for presentation to the MESSAGEmanager client(s) which then submits the message to the most appropriate server.
If one of the Servers in a Global Routing Group fails, then it is not included in the list of available servers for submission. Should a FAX Server fail, client applications are switched to an alternative server. When the Server is back up, client applications use it again.
Users can check on the progress of their messages with the Queue Manager, which simultaneously displays all messages on all Server
queues.
Why you need Global Routing
You can dramatically reduce the cost of fax calls by using the Internet or WAN connections to route calls to a Server able to deliver the message to the final destination at a lower cost.
With multiple Servers on your network, you can maximize your Communications Server investments by balancing the workload across all available Servers.
