MarvelClient Real-Time Control

MarvelClient allows you to relocate or restrict both the traffic between Notes clients and Domino servers and the traffic between Notes clients and local storage, including network drives - in real-time and without any additional traffic.

This opens up endless opportunities to control and optimize all traffic generated by your Notes clients:

• When users open databases on a particular server, you can redirect them to a better server — without any additional network traffic.
• You can restrict the creation or deletion of local databases independent of the databases’ access control lists (ACLs) — a clear advantage for environments with Citrix and network drives.
• You can redirect the creation of replicas on network drives to local fixed disks; MarvelClient automatically detects whether, for example, clients have a local fixed disk and whether the data directory is on a network drive.
• Relocation rules only affect the creation of local databases plus any database open events (local and server): You would not want database creation or deletion to be relocated to a server other than the one currently targeted.
• Restriction rules can fully distinguish between database open, creation, and deletion events.
• Relocation rules can behave differently in real time depending on a user’s Internet Protocol (IP) address. For example, you can have different relocation rules on a virtual private network (VPN) connection and on a local area network (LAN) connection.
• A client’s connectivity can also auto-adapt to roaming and traveling users without the need to restart the client. In fact, as soon as the user connects to the network in a different office or country and thereby gets a different IP address, the client automatically connects to the nearest server(s) for all or selected databases.
• Real-time control can also be applied selectively to just the background replicator or Notes client user interface.

In addition to true control over your clients connectivity, traffic and disk space consumption, MarvelClient also comes with an optional engine (MarvelZip) for seamless attachment compression and decompression and a powerful attachment blocking feature that blocks by file type. MarvelZip derives the file type from the file contents rather than just the extension, so renaming an .exe file to .txt won’t circumvent your rules.

Conclusion

MarvelClient’s real-time relocation and restriction of database operations can solve many operational, configuration, and connectivity problems in your network. Resolving these issues allows administrators to regain control over the network, and therefore manage the Notes environment more efficiently.
