SIFWorks® Enterprise ZIS
|
The SIFWorks Enterprise ZIS is our premiere Zone Integration Server, the
central middleware component of the Schools Interoperability Framework that makes it
possible for disparate applications to reliably and securely exchange data
with one another.

Features
Multiple SIF Zones
A single instance of the SIFWorks ZIS can manage multiple SIF Zones for
centralized deployment and reduced hardware costs. Districts typically
create one zone per school and one zone to represent the district itself.
The SIFWorks Administration Console features "Zone Templates" for easy
management of multiple zones. Zone Templates are essential for mid- to
large-sized districts where potentially hundreds of zones may exist. Simply
define your agents in a template and they're automatically configured in
all zones.
- Create up to 300 zones per server to effectively model your school district.

Web-Based Administration Console
|
District IT staff and system integrators will quickly appreciate the
web-based SIFWorks Administration Console. It's easy to use and is designed
for enterprise-wide management of SIF. The Administration Console organizes
enterprises, zones, and agents in a familiar Explorer-style tree with
drill-down property sheets.
| | |
Cross Platform
SIFWorks runs on any server operating system that supports the Java 2
Runtime Environment, including:
- Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003
- Novell Open Enterprise Server 2
- Mac OS X
- Linux
- Solaris
| | |
Standalone
|
Unlike other Zone Integration Servers on the market, the SIFWorks ZIS is a
standalone product. It runs out of the box on any OS that supports the
Java 2 Runtime Environment, without the need for expensive third-party
database or messaging software.
| | |
NT Service/Mac StartupItem Support
|
On the Windows and Mac OS X platforms, the SIFWorks ZIS runs as an
NT Service or Startup Item for uninterrupted operation. Typically Novell OES, Linux and Solaris
administrators add the SIFWorks ZIS to their systems' boot scripts as well.
