Find everything everywhere in time!

Find everything everywhere in time!

If a company hosts different databases, the search for employee or contact data is often very time consuming, because different databases have to be searched before the required data is found. ESTOS MetaDirectory solves this problem by combining data into a central data pool.

What is ESTOS MetaDirectory?

ESTOS MetaDirectory is an LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) server with intelligent services for matching and displaying data. It enables the central collection of relevant employee and customer data from different data sources and provides a powerful function for efficiently searching data in large, distributed databases. Thanks to the standardized implementation of the LDAP protocol and database-independent formatting, search results are generated quickly and in a structured format for easy viewing and further processing. The newest version (2.0) of the ESTOS MetaDirectory includes an improved databasemanagement and an integrated webserver, which allows to build a customised search portal for typical enterprise needs.

ESTOS MetaDirectory - Use Cases

  • Access to multiple datasources over one interface
  • Classic LDAP Server
  • Mediation Server (Read Only)
  • Search Portal in the Intranet
  • Search Portal for the Extranet
  • LDAP-2 and -3 compliant Phonebook-Server
  • Numbersearch via LDAP compliant Telephones

Always up to date

ESTOS MetaDirectory collects and processes the contents of all databases, ensuring that all data changes are immediately accessible to all users without delay, regardless of their location. The entire company therefore profits from an up-to-date database, and all workflows involving more than one department can be handled quickly and without delay.

Standardized format

All search results are provided in a standardized format, regardless of which database the data was originally stored in. This allows further processing in a simple and efficient way by providing a data format optimized for communication products like ESTOS ProCall or Microsoft Outlook.

What are the components of ESTOS MetaDirectory?

ESTOS MetaDirectory consists of three components. The ESTOS MetaDirectory server provides the LDAP database and the web server as a system service. The different database systems are connected to the LDAP database by replicators. An administrator program allows for easy server configuration as well as replicator setup. Thanks to the modular design and replicators run independently from the server, the system is highly scalable and flexible. This also allows deployment in business-critical applications since data storage is performed separately from the data sources.
