Architecture and Administration
Alienbrain offers enterprise-class back-end technology with intelligent administration tools to keep projects running smoothly.
-
Server Health Monitoring: The Server Health Monitor is a modular server-side watchdog process that constantly monitors the operational conditions of the Alienbrain server processes and reports the status to the administrator’s desktop, reducing the risk of unscheduled downtime and improving overall availability.
-
Fine-Grained Access Control: Administrators can control access rights logically (by role) or physically (by files and folders). Users can have assigned roles that determine their access capabilities or be granted operational privileges on specific files or folders.
-
Remote Collaboration: Using http/https, remote clients can securely access the Alienbrain repository without going through a VPN. The remote collaboration server (RCS) enables protocol routing for small teams or individuals working remotely.
-
Automatic Database Backup: To minimize downtime, you can back up project databases at regular intervals without shutting down the system. Project metadata can be copied to a backup location in configurable intervals.
-
Flexible Storage Management: Flexible offline and online capabilities help system administrators cope with next-generation multi-terabyte projects. Bucket Management makes it easy to intelligently move older file versions to secondary storage, freeing up disk space.
