The Foxit/LuraTech Rendition Server (FLTRS) assumes a critical role
within your business, as the central receiving point for server-based
document and file conversion.

Using a universal web service interface, you can easily integrate
Foxit's/LuraTech’s proven technology into other systems and a
wide variety of environments.

Maintain quality standards.
The FLTRS provides valuable to support to help you maintain quality standards.
This is because the Rendition Server ensures PDF and PDF/A files are stored
at the same level of quality enterprise-wide, across all sectors and systems.

No matter whether the documents come from an ERP, CRM or ECM system,
or whether they are used for external communication or for internal
storage and archiving:

All documents can be produced centrally and globally at
the quality levels and degree of consistency required.

One positive side-effect is that using the Rendition Server
saves businesses from having to use a wide variety of smaller
conversion tools distributed around different departments.

Highly scalable and light on resources.
Unlike the well-known Foxit/LuraTech PDF Compressor,
the Foxit/LuraTech Rendition Server (developed from the ground up)
is based on parallel processing techniques, meaning it can easily be
scaled across multiple servers, growing to meet application scenarios
with the highest of throughput rates.

In other words,
the Foxit/LuraTech Rendition Server distributes work over a number of
assigned servers, making it easy to make optimal use of existing
hardware and other resources.

Every conversion job begins by sending a request to the conversion web service.
A request contains descriptions of the input and output,
as well as the strategy selected and the properties added by the client.
Each strategy defines which process should be executed and
with which standard properties.

License Models

Rendition Server Licensing Options

Rendition Server licensing is simple and straightforward.
Licensing is determined by the number of pages processed per year (Volume),
as well as the number of servers required for your operation (Speed).

For example: A valid license configuration might be:

• 3 million pages per year on 1 server,


• 24 million pages per year on 4 servers, or


• unlimited pages on unlimited servers.


• Plus Yearly Maintenance Fee: 20%.

Determining Your Enterprise License Needs

1. To start, we'll find your document processing volume requirements,
on a pages per year basis.

Volume Options:

• 3,000,000


• 6,000,000


• 12,000,000


• 24,000,000


• Unlimited Volume

2. We would then work together to determine the number of servers,
"worker nodes", best suited for your use case.

Typically, number of servers required scales with
processing speed demands and is used to address large
anticipated variations in peak or seasonal needs.

Server Options *):

• 1 Worker Node


• 2 Worker Nodes


• 4 Worker Nodes


• 8 Worker Nodes


• Unlimited Worker Nodes

*) "Server Options" refers to the number of worker nodes in a configuration.
The charts above assume 1 manager node; configurations involving
multiple manager nodes are also available.
