Getting Started
piXserve-ECs is based on the
Standard Edition of piXserve
and is well suited for
organizations/workgroups that have large repositories of images in
their intranet, as well as some video files. The application
is packaged as an Amazon Machine Image (AMI). Each AMI
instance comprises a self contained unit running piXserve-Standard
Edition in a Windows 2003 Server virtual machine. You can
attach Elastic Block Storage units for as much capacity as you wish.
You can load your images and video files to your EBS storage
devices, and point your instance of piXserve to index the material
and serve search results to your users. You can launch a
single instance of piXserve-ECs AMIs, or multiple instances in
parallel. In the latter case they can work independently or
configured as a group for load balancing purposes. You can set
up your instances to "auto-scale" dynamically as the load increases.
A Web-Service API is
available to help you integrate piXserve-ECs into your workflow
environment.
Instructions for how to set up your instances of
piXserve-ECs are provided in
piXserve-ECs
Getting Started document.
