Installation and Handling
The following chapters describe the basic conditions for installing and operating Fabasoft Folio.
Fabasoft Reference Architecture
The Fabasoft reference architecture shows the exemplified infrastructure of a web based Fabasoft Folio installation:
Terminology
The terms of the reference architecture are explained in this chapter.
- Client
Device or PC with graphical user interface. - Client firewall
The client firewall is designed to protect the client LAN from the corporate network. - Corporate network
A corporate network contains the whole network of a company. - Connection point
The connection point represents the handover point for the application and the location for service level measurements. - Server firewall
The server firewall is designed to protect the data center from the connection point. - Load balancer, content switch
The load balancer distributes requests from the user to the web server farm and thus to the Fabasoft Folio Web Services. - DMZ firewall
A DMZ firewall separates the portal server farm from data center. - Portal server farm
A portal server farm handles incoming HTTP requests from the Internet. - Internet firewall
An Internet firewall separates the portal server farm from the Internet. - AT servers (Automated Tasks)
AT servers run Fabasoft Folio AT Services for executing automated tasks in the context of a user without requiring user interaction. - Mail server
A mail server is responsible for sending e-mails in the background without any user interaction. On the mail server a SMTP mail server third-party product is installed. - Web server farm
The Web server farm consists of servers running Fabasoft Folio Web Services (business logic for applications and generation of on-screen representation). - Conversion server farm
The conversion server farm consists of servers running Fabasoft Folio Conversion Services (format conversion of documents). - Frontend LAN
The frontend LAN connects the load balancer to the web server farm. - Backend LAN
The backend LAN connects the web server with the backend server clusters and the conversion servers, plus the backend server cluster with the database server clusters. The backend LAN also connects the servers for basic services with the other servers. - Backend server cluster
The backend server cluster manages the persistence of business objects using Fabasoft Folio COO Services for structured data (in relational databases) and Fabasoft Folio MMC Services for unstructured data (documents, graphics, multimedia files in the file system). - Database server cluster
Relational database systems running on the database server cluster stores structured data in a database for each Fabasoft Folio COO Service. - Storage area network (SAN)
The SAN connects the backend cluster (saving documents in the file system) and the database cluster (saving database files) with the storage system. - Storage system
The (enterprise) storage system represents a highly available array of hard disks (capacity in the terabyte range). - Tape library
The tape library (tape robot) makes use of fast and reliable tape drives for saving data.
Fabasoft Folio Tenants
Fabasoft Folio Tenants allow a logical division of a Fabasoft Folio Domain, for example, to separate individual companies of a corporate group.
- With tenant-specific configurations, the behavior of the individual tenants can be customized.
- Tenants can be considered in the Fabasoft Folio permission system (ACLs). Thus, objects can be easily protected against access by users who only have roles for another tenant. However, it is also possible to grant a user access to objects of different tenants.
In order to use the functionality of Fabasoft Folio Tenants a multi-tenant license is required.
Conditions of Use
- All statements contained in this software product information concerning the intended use and conditions of operation of the program are understood as information only on principle. To ensure and guarantee the intended use and conditions of operation in everyday use of the program, expert training by specially qualified staff is recommended in any case.
- Performance and reaction time of Fabasoft software products significantly depend on the used infrastructure. For layout, configuration and sizing of the infrastructure we refer to the information, recommendations and specifications of the particular manufacturers.
- Without a suitable infrastructure for online backups a consistent backup of Fabasoft Folio resources is only possible within dedicated backup time slots (planned downtime). In both cases functionality for backup, restore and disaster recovery has to be implemented according to a separately defined concept.
- This program is intended for customary commercial use. This does not include usage that demands special requirements (like controlling of vehicles, machines and facilities, real-time applications).
Supported Platforms (Microsoft Windows Environment)

Application Performance Management
With Fabasoft app.telemetry a powerful tool for effective application service level management is provided.
Fabasoft app.telemetry collects detailed performance data from data flows and response time behavior (performance) for distributed software applications and facilitates the analysis of these data in the context of the respective operating steps (use cases). Fabasoft app.telemetry reproduces a user enquiry through servers and locations and collects detailed information about each involved application (service). Such information is, e.g., the execution time, the retention time within a service or item (query) and the duration of a database query. Thereby Fabasoft app.telemetry details the respective system path. This enables the service team to immediately identify critical points in terms of time.
Fabasoft app.telemetry also provides users with the possibility to report unsatisfactory system queries. The most recent queries are then automatically summarized and made available for immediate analysis.
Fabasoft app.telemetry raises the level of corporate efficiency through immediate identification of bottlenecks in the IT systems. Particularly complex and service-oriented architectures profit from the Fabasoft app.telemetry targeted identification of performance and resource bottlenecks, as they can be rapidly isolated and repaired.
The software also provides a complete overview of all performed queries. Data such as the query execution time are prepared jointly with application specific information and are available immediately for an analysis of the overall situation.
Fabasoft app.telemetry also performs classic system management functions. The software monitors cluster resources or services as well as observes SNMP values (Simple Network Management Protocol), performance data or availability checks.
Fabasoft app.telemetry SDK
Fabasoft app.telemetry SDK (Software Development Kit) provides a simple and quick-to-use interface for applications. It enables software developers to easily integrate their applications into the Fabasoft app.telemetry.
