Auto-failsafe, continuous job processing for
large-scale workflow automation applications
As file-based workflows become increasingly demanding,
large-scale content providers and distributors cannot afford
interruptions in their critical workflow environments. This is
especially true in mission-critical commercial workflows, time-critical news workflows, and high-volume content repurposing
environments. So much content is moving through these
facilities that any workflow interruptions would cause serious
subsequent delays. FactoryArray™ ensures continuous, 24/7
job processing in these critical environments.
FactoryArray extends the power of any FlipFactory,
TrafficManager, NewsManager or GraphicsFactory system
from a single server to an array of servers working together to
process jobs in the most efficient and secure manner possible.
Intelligent load-balancing distributes jobs across servers.
Auto-failover protection ensures that if any one server should
fail, the remaining servers will continue to process jobs without
interruption. Database mirroring backs up job workflow
information on a separate server and provides automatic
recovery mechanisms for all workflows.
The array can be scaled from two to as many servers as you
need to meet your workflow throughput requirements.
Distributed control ensures there is no single point of failure in
FactoryArray that will ever bring your system down.
How it works
FactoryArray is a collection of Factory servers that all
communicate with each other across a network and have
equal and uninhibited access to all media to be processed.
This ensures that all Factory servers in the array are able to
process incoming jobs, assuming they are appropriately
licensed.
Each Factory server in the array points to the same virtual IP
database address. By using a virtual IP address, the Factory
server database can run on any machine and is transparent to
the Factory server using it. FactoryArray database mirroring
functionality takes advantage of the virtual IP address.
