Click on the image to chat with us As the pioneer in interoperable instant messenger and presence management, Geodesic offers a reliable and robust Instant Messaging platform available for small and large portals and corporates. The Instant Messaging solution offered by Geodesic encompasses both client-side and server-side technologies.   Client Architecture The instant messaging client is based on "Mundu Interoperable Instant Messaging (MiIM)" and has been developed using MFC and ATL COM technologies. The instant messaging client comprises three different layers.   The User Interface Layer The user interface layer consists of all the controls and actionable items. It is the part of the application that is visible to the user. The interactions of the user with the application happen via this layer.   The Service layer The Service Layer allows communication between the user interface layer and the component layer. The service layer provides a consistent mapping between the user interface and various service components.   The Component layer The component layer presently comprises five instant messaging service components (one for each instant messaging service viz. Mundu, AIM, ICQ, MSN and Yahoo), and can be scaled horizontally to include more instant messaging services in the future, without affecting the existing structure. Respective components perform all tasks pertaining to a particular instant messaging service and use a proprietary communication layer that allows communication over different kinds of Internet connections.   Server Architecture The Mundu Messaging Service is designed to be robust and scaleable. The architecture is structured in a manner that it is simple for licensees to deploy the server software over one or multiple systems. Licensees can start with smaller configuration and grow to a medium or a large configuration by adding more servers, network equipment and resources viz. CPU's, Memory etc. The instant messaging server system ensures optimum performance as the architecture is broken down into components that have individual tasks.   Support Server The Support Server provides for authentication, contact List management, upgrades, bug fixes and domain information.   Init Server The Init Server is the Load Balancer for the instant messaging service. It keeps track of the load on each server and distributes requests dynamically.   Indication Server This server maintains user sessions and takes care of IM functionality except Instant Messaging and Conferencing.   Messaging Server The Messaging Server facilitates Instant Messaging and Conferencing.   Hub Server The Hub Server maintains status information about all online users at any point of time and all other servers connect to this server to use this status information for various purposes.   Main Database Server The Main Database Server based on MY SQL and stores user information.     The Mundu IM server enhances the core features and benefits of the Mundu IM client.  It allows you to communicate remotely with your network infrastructure through the Internet, VPNs, behind firewalls or virtually any connection.   Mundu IM server provides robust, scalable IM services to enterprises and portals. The Mundu IM server has been deployed and implemented at one of the largest publishing houses in the world and has over 1.2 million plus users.   The Mundu IM server is designed to handle thousands of connected users across large, geographically dispersed networks.   The Mundu IM server solution can be scaled horizontally and vertically and is modular. Server Objects / Components can either be on a single system or distributed across several machines.   Scalability The Mundu IM Server allows distribution among number of machines depending on the number of users and the functionality. The Mundu IM Server network is designed to allow the addition of a server to the network without requiring network reconfiguration. Large organizations may choose to deploy multiple servers to meet unique needs of individual business units. The Mundu IM server is a device agnostic, component-based architecture that separates messaging from presence management. Customers have access to a rich set of API's and SDK's to tailor the solution to their needs.Messaging, Collaboration, VoIP, File transfer/sharing, Presence status, security, contact management and user profiles are handled independently providing high scalability and universal availability. Performance - The Mundu IM Server provides a smart workload balancing mechanism to boost performance and enhance stability and reliability.   Flexible The Mundu IM server is standards-based and runs on Linux/UNIX/AIX/Solaris (any POSIX compliant UNIX), that prevents vendor lock-in down the road. Written in PHP, server side Java and C, the Mundu IM server works with a variety of web servers, application servers and database technology.   Extensible The Mundu IM Enterprise Solutions are completely extensible allowing growth throughout the complete life cycle. Customers can integrate popular enterprise applications viz. mail, custom applications, The Mundu content aggregation API allows integration of custom applications, And by partnering to offer best-of-breed technologies- including LDAP, ADS, Netscape Directory Services, Search, advanced content management, single-sign-on (SSO) authentication management, and more- Mundu delivers an end-to-end solution for building a world-class IM environment.   Fault Tolerance An internal watchdog mechanism monitors the servers and automatically restarts any failing server, ensuring minimal downtime. In addition, the various servers those make up the Mundu IM Server systems, backup each other with a fail-over mechanism that is transparent to the users.   Data Integrity The server has the sole responsibility for accumulating data updates and distributing them. This applies to both internal Mundu IM Server information and for information related to external systems.   Firewall Support The Mundu IM Server solution is firewall friendly, as it relies exclusively on connections that are created by the clients and, therefore, are recognized by the firewall as secure.   Security Mundu's real-time engine uses a combination of security protocols. The server security policy defines the level of security required by all connecting clients and the IM environment.   Flexible The Mundu IM server is standards-based and runs on Linux/UNIX/AIX/Solaris (any POSIX compliant UNIX), that prevents vendor lock-in down the road. Written in PHP, server side Java and C, the Mundu IM server works with a variety of web servers, application servers and database technology.
