Overview
eDock Server 2.1 from Software602 is a secure document server that provides fast and
convenient access to your documents. Revolutionize the way you publish, share and distribute
your documents online. Access eDock Server using a standard web browser from your local
network or from anywhere on the Internet. Use eDock Client for direct access from your
favorite applications (e.g. 602Pro PC SUITE, MS OFFICE). eDock Server’s powerful features are
inherited from the 602SQL database management system which it is based upon. The goal of
this white paper is to help you understand the benefits of implementing eDock Server in your
organization to solve your document storage needs.
602SQL Environment
602SQL Server is an SQL92 intermediate compliant database management system (DBMS),
with many SQL99 features. Using an SQL environment for document storage has many
benefits over a traditional file system. The DBMS provides transaction support by
implementing data independence, data access efficiency, data integrity, reliability and
security. When working with hundreds of documents, SQL storage can significantly boost the
performance of common file functions (e.g. moving and deleting). Logical independence is also
achieved since the data structure can not go out of the database defined bounds. Avoid linear
search indexing on traditional file systems and gain fast, full-text access even on complex
search queries at anytime.
Supported File Types
In eDock Server you can save documents as well as any other file types (MP3, XML, video,
etc.). A file storage system becomes complex as you save many files and documents, but
eDock Server makes it easy for you to manage your document storage needs by giving the
user a broad perspective on the document contents (e.g. HTML previews, Thumbnails,
Document Metadata, etc.). eDock Server natively supports the following document types:
DOC, RTF, XLS, PPT, TXT, HTML, PDF and WPD for full-text searches. eDock Server also
natively supports the following graphic files for real-time thumbnail generation: BMP, GIF,
ICO, JPG, PCD, PCT, PCX, PNG, PSD, RAS, TGA, TIF, WMF, XPM and XWD.

How it Works
eDock Server functions similar to a network file server with user rights, group management
and file/folder permissions. Gain access to your documents from anywhere: on the road or in
the office. Drop the limitations of your current network file server and find out how easy it is
to provide secure access to your documents. This solution also eliminates the problem of
distributing confidential files via e-mail by controlling access to sensitive documents. Its
Internet-centric design and easy web administration makes it a perfect low-cost solution for
document management.
