Remote Server Manager
The supporting component of Savvy is the Remote Server Manager or Guardian. The RSM is an XML Web Service, which is installed on each remote document server. The main responsibility of the RSM is to deliver a document to the DCS. The RSM is protected by NTFS security. The login information required to access the RSM web service as well as the IP of the computer running the RSM is placed into the Savvy Configuration database at the DCS.

RSM also interfaces with Microsoft Index Server to perform document searches based on the criteria it receives from the Document Control Server.

The documents are stored on the remote document server in Windows folder designated for that purpose. This folder is known as the Document Root. The Document Root can be the root of an entire drive.

When a Savvy user requests a document, the DCS logs in to the RSM using the userid and password stored in the DCS. Once connection is established, the DCS requests the document. The RSM then encrypts the document and sends it back to the DCS. The DCS then decrypts the document and forwards it to the requesting user.

This entire process is totally transparent to the user.
