Resource Managers - also known as object servers, these specialized repositories manage the storage, archival, retrieval and delivery of your enterprise content.

Library Server - the library server aggregates all library server tables into a single library, and manage the indexing, describing, locating and organizing of content.

Resource Manager - the resource manager is a specialized repository that stores documents, images, and other rich media content in BLOB types in your database

Windows® Client - the Windows client is ideal for high-volume, high-performance applications, and is compatible with XML/HTML and ODMA. You can also take advantage of the development toolkit with technologies such as Java™ Beans, C++ to further extend the client.

Content Manager VideoCharger™

This optional component delivers continuous streaming video across the enterprise through the Internet, or intranet-connected clients. The architecture of this utility deliver video streams by “pushing” the content over the network until stopped, as opposed to many file servers today that deliver video content by issuing multiple “pull” requests to the server.
