Helios
Helios, the future of DTP
| HELIOS Base UB+ is the innovative foundation used by all HELIOS UB+ products. It incorporates the advanced server technologies developed by HELIOS over many years. These core HELIOS technologies include the service controller, printing system, authentication server, remote administration, networking and imaging libraries, tools and more. HELIOS Base provides the foundation for all HELIOS products. |
 |
| Ease of Use The concept of HELIOS Base is to make your server easy to use and manage. Installation, configuration, and updating are very straightforward. Even switching between supported platforms takes only minutes, and preserves all custom HELIOS settings. | Server Fail Safety HELIOS software is made for
mission-critical environments. HELIOS Base adds another level of server
fail safety. The HELIOS Service Controller starts, stops and monitors
all HELIOS services. Separate processes per active user are generated,
to enforce file security and ensure process safety. If any HELIOS
service fails the HELIOS Service Controller will restart the
service. |
| Advanced Printing System HELIOS Base provides the state-of-the-art HELIOS printing system to all other HELIOS products. | HELIOS Authentication Server supports LDAP, AD/PDC, NIS and local users. Even mixed environments, e.g. LDAP, AD/PDC and backup servers are supported. |
| HELIOS mDNS Server (“Bonjour”) enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP networks without the need to enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers. | SQL desktop database indexes all server files, enabling near instant file searches. Allows system snapshots and backups while the file system is in use. |
| HELIOS DHCP Server provides TCP/IP configurations
to Windows, Mac, and other network devices. Includes DHCP backup server
capability. Dynamic DNS updates are also supported. There is no extra cost for HELIOS Base. All Major Server Platforms are supported with identical features and release dates. HELIOS Base abstracts platform-specific server differences and offers an identical foundation for all HELIOS products independent of the server platform and operating system. |
