An Advanced Architecture at the Core

The client-server architecture provides centralized processing and control and ensures high performance and reliability-important considerations since your workflow is central to your business success. Redundant, distributed task processors and built-in intelligence (i.e. automatic switching to available processors in case of a failure) ensure high availability and quick recovery, while sophisticated database backup capabilities protect your valuable data. The ApogeeX client application graphically displays all job information, regardless of where the job-specific processing occurs. This networked approach keeps resources (e.g. ICC profiles, fonts) centralized and makes it easy to bring updates and new capabilities to your entire operation. As a result, any changes made to settings or its capabilities are automatically communicated to all operators - a significant improvement over standalone applications.
