YSoft SafeQ Server

Overview

Deployment of YSoft SafeQ solution requires installation of YSoft SafeQ server, which puts user management, device management and additional system integrations at one place. Additional features may require additional systems to be installed and configured.

 

Name

Description

YSoft SafeQ CML

YSoft SafeQ Central Management Layer

This is the core component of YSoft SafeQ solution, which handles user authentication from the terminals/readers and manages user print queues. Simple web administration interface allows system configuration, including Active Directory integration, device management, web reporting and connectivity with other parts of YSoft SafeQ solution (e.g. Central Reporting Services, Offline Remote Spooler, Mobile Print Server and other).

CML requires an SQL database with real-time and configuration data.

YSoft SafeQ CRS

YSoft SafeQ Central Reporting Services [optional] 

Statistical and accounting data from all connected devices are centrally collected and evaluated in the SafeQ Central Reporting System, based on MS SQL OLAP Analytics Services. The CRS server receives and processes data from any number of SafeQ CML clusters.

Typically is used in large enterprise installations as a data reporting tool.

YSoft SafeQ ORS

Offline Remote Spooler [optional]

Serves as a proxy application that can run on a local print server. It does not require configuration, database nor provides any management interface. This system is used spooling and managing print jobs, devices, users and reports data back to the main YSoft SafeQ Server (CML). Offline Remote Spooler contains internal data cache and is therefore able to work autonomously for limited time should the connection with main server be interrupted.

Most typical use is in multi-location deployments.

Requirements

Notes

  • YSoft SafeQ CML must be properly installed and configured. It is a critical point, which - in case of failure - may result in the inability of end user printing, copying, scanning and other related tasks.

  • Server failover is managed via application or operating system level redundancy, more details available in Server failover.

  • Multi-location deployments are supported using distributed server system - Private Cloud

  • By default YSoft SafeQ server is running under Local System. If it is necessary to run it under another account (e.g. because of permissions for scanning hotfolders), such account must have granted local administrator, run as service (and permissions to given hotfolders).
