Der EdgeProzessor - der "Mobility Server" von SCO   The key component of an overall EdgeClick solution is a SOA server called an Edge Processor. It is an "edge-of-network" node, or collection of nodes, that enables a company to embrace the smart phone as a solution for accessing and acting on data and events as they happen from anywhere in the world. The Edge Processor either installs within your company's network or it may be hosted by EdgeClick or an EdgeClick partner, depending upon your requirements. The Edge Processor serves many essential functions, including: Providing a single connection path from cellular endpoints to IP-based systems Providing commonly needed services such as user authentication, secure communication, account management, etc. Providing an application server environment to off-load computing tasks and data storage from the mobile devices Enabling secure access and control for all data provided to a smart phone Performing routing and load balancing to meet scalability requirements Provisioning the mobile device application components Providing a convenient-to-use web-based administrative interface Supporting subscription-base provisioning of EdgeClick solutions In doing all this, EdgeClick effectively ensures that an application service's core business logic is reusable and not self-contained within isolated client applications. In addition, disparate services will share the same development, deployment, and execution models, creating a manageable platform. This makes it possible to combine or orchestrate various services to develop new business processes rapidly using components of the EdgeBuilder SDK. Finally, in its ultimate manifestation, the Edge Processor (in one or multiple instances) can act somewhat like an application switch, providing quality-of-service and routing capabilities.
