Canto Software and 4-Sight Announce
Remote Image Database Integration
San Francisco, CA -- September 11, 1996-- Canto® Software Inc., the
technology leader in digital image management software and 4-Sight, the
leading supplier of prepress ISDN solutions have integrated an easy to administer,
secure and affordable remote image database. The integration of Canto Cumulus
Network Image Database 3.0 and 4-Sight iSDN Manager saves time and money
with the ability to now remotely browse an image database through the Internet
and have selected images delivered automatically back via a direct dial
up, peer to peer ISDN connection.
Previously the concept of remote databases suffered in two areas preventing
mass market acceptance. First was the lack of common access for people to
browse images as a new client and, not having the right software to access
the database. Secondly, the security issues and maintenance associated
with setting up the telecommunications required to give enough bandwidth
to download the selected images was also a deterrent.
The Database Access via the Internet
A new solution is now available utilizing the Internet server functionality
of Canto Cumulus 3.0 with 4-Sight's iSDN Manager which is secure, easy to
maintain and compatible with over 30,000 ISDN solutions worldwide. Now
any user can browse vast image Cumulus catalogs using any standard web browser
to select the digital images or documents they wish to receive. After providing
an ISDN number, selected images are then delivered instantly via 4-Sight
iSDN Manager. More open access and the ability to get images sent back can
be restricted on a per user basis.
The ISDN Link
Due to 4-Sight's barrier method of delivery, all ISDN connections are completely
secure and to enter a new destination, the user just enters their ISDN number
(similar to using a Fax back service). iSDN Manager simply packages up the
images into one folder and places it into a queue waiting to be sent. If
the ISDN line is busy it will wait and try again until the delivery is successful.
