The Formtek | Orion 5 Foundation Server is at the heart of the Formtek CRS architecture. The Foundation Server maintains content management privileges, controls, security, and metadata. This layer contains the content repository, which provides the rules for content modeling and management structures. The Orion 5 Foundation Server offers an extremely robust and flexible security model that allows control profiles to vary content presentation by per-object, per-user, per-workgroup, and per-release state.

The Formtek | Orion Foundation server provides several components upon installation:

• The Formtek | Orion 5 Vault/Schema is installed onto an existing Oracle database.

• The Formtek | Orion 5 Storage Server module is designed to support an efficient distributed repository system with distributed access. Orion allows volumes to be encrypted, on option, to enhance the security to your enterprise content.

• The Formtek | Orion 5 Command Server module is an optional installation component provided to allow the use of Orion event triggers.

• The Formtek | Orion 5 License Server module manages the customer's license requirements. Orion 5 is licensed via named or concurrent users.

• The Formtek | Orion 5 Administration module is composed of five components: User Management, Volume Management, Class Definition, Resource Manager and Types Manager. System administration functions can be performed via a set of included tools, or the functionality can be embedded in other content-enabled applications via the Formtek | Orion 5 Administration API.
