WebFile Server was designed to integrate into a company's existing network infrastructure, business processes and applications through its standards-based architecture. WebFile Server uses the following protocols and technology:
- WebDAV - Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol that allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote web servers. WebDAV extends search, share and access traits of HTTP to include editing and versioning abilities to all enterprise data and files. All devices with an Internet browser can utilize WebDAV technology on supported platforms.
- HTTP - Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the primary method used to transfer or convey information on the Internet. HTTP is an application-level protocol with the lightness and speed necessary for distributed, collaborative, and hypermedia information systems. All devices with an Internet browser can manage files with HTTP. WebFile Server uses HTTP in conjunction with WebDAV to safely connect all users to a centralized file system.
- Xythos APIs- The Xythos application programming interface (API) is the interface that allows requests for service to be made of the WebFile Server by other programs in order to allow data to be exchanged between them. WebFile Server enables software developers and IT professionals to use the powerful Xythos API to align with their specific needs, such as integrating into existing systems that use proprietary APIs. Developers and OEMs can customize WebFile Server core product to bring power and intelligence to their own services and offerings by programming to the Xythos API.
- Java™ - WebFile Server is written in the Java™ coding language which allows for the implementation of the server on the platform that best suits a company's specific IT infrastructure. Whether there is a preference to use Intel-based hardware running Windows, Linux, or Solaris or highly performing server class hardware from Sun, HP, Compaq, or IBM, WebFile Server accommodates an enterprise company's needs.
