Document Management Scalability

Document Locator is a scalable document management system that will grow to match the information management needs of your organization over time. The system allows you to flexibly manage users, add repositories, scale and upgrade hardware, and control information processes without interrupting availability as your enterprise document repository.

Document Locator leverages the proven performance and affordability of Microsoft SQL Server to provide a robust and flexible document management system. With over 4.5 million installed sites and first-place achievements in multiple comparison studies, Microsoft SQL Server has earned its reputation as an enterprise database solution that will handle all application needs.

With SQL Server as a foundation, Document Locator has been developed to best-in-class specification to minimize memory consumption, processor requirements, data transfer, and hard drive consumption on both the server and client side. Among the advanced technologies employed are: disconnected record-sets, cyclic redundancy checks, low-level data transfers, memory caching, stored procedures, optimized queries, and more.

As business requirements expand, Document Locator can scale to meet those needs by upgrading hardware components including memory, processor speeds, number of processors, back-end storage facilities, network bandwidth, etc.
