System Architecture
- Database - all data are saved to a
common database. The system uses MS SQL Server or the
Express edition (formerly MSDE) as the database system.
- ALVAO WebApp (WA, WebApp) - a web-based
interface which is used by requesters, operators, and
solvers. The WebApp is implemented on the MS IIS/ASP.NET
platform. Any Internet browser can be used to access the
WebApp, e.g. MSIE, Mozilla Firefox, Opera etc. Also, any
e-mail client can be used to receive information messages.
- Service Desk Console (SD Console) -
Service Desk solvers and operators can also use the console,
a Win32 application. The Console data can be further
processed in the standard MS Office applications: MS Excel
and MS Word.
- ALVAO Admin - the system administration
is performed inside the Admin.exe module. The User List can
be loaded from Active Directory. The system uses any SMTP
Server to send automatic e-mail messages to requesters and
solvers.
- Mailbor Reader - the MailboxReader
server component handles automatic loading of requests and
any follow-up e-mail communication to the Service Desk
system. The e-mail messages are loaded using IMAP, WebDAV
(Exchange), or EWS (Exchange WebService).
- Service Desk WebService - the
WebService is used to send automatic notifications to
requesters and to the members of the solving team.
