Using Virtual Office

Summary

In this chapter, you learned how to deliver access to all web-based components of OES with Virtual Office. This is a very easy-to-use portal page offered by the Tomcat server. Virtual Office can be used as a portal to all web-based user components of OES, including eGuide, which is an LDAP interface that allows users to get information from any LDAP Directory server. Another asset of Virtual Office is the possibility to work with virtual teams. Each user can create a team on Virtual Office server and other users can subscribe to these teams to become a member of it.

In the last section of this chapter, you discovered that Virtual Office offers excellent functionality, but that its performance must be tuned after installation. If you configure a server as a heavy-use Virtual Office server, it’s best to set some parameters in order to dramatically improve the performance of Virtual Office. In the next chapter, you’ll read how you can use clustering in OES for high availability of services.
