Time-Saving Features
Search more documents
With Enfold Server, your site users can find more of what they’re seeking quickly and easily. Microsoft Office document content appears in search results out-of-the-box because Enfold Server indexes it without any extra effort from you. You can install an extension easily to make PDFs searchable too.
Add users once
You already added a new user to the network and set her permissions. Why should you have to repeat those steps for Plone? Enfold Server comes ready to connect to your Microsoft Active Directory database so you can add users and update their profiles in just one place.
Sign on once
Enfold Server helps you eliminate annoying multiple sign-in boxes with built-in support for Microsoft’s single sign-on protocol. Open your Web
browser, and you’re already signed in.
Automate maintenance
Figuring out how to set up regular maintenance tasks, like backups and log rotation, can burn hours upon hours of your time. The Enfold Server
installer solves this problem by creating Windows scheduled tasks to take care of these chores for you.
Reuse data
With Enfold Server 3, now you can integrate your content management system with Microsoft SQL Server or just about any other relational database using our new ODBC connector.
Get professional help
Enfold Server comes with 30 days of installation support. You also can purchase extended support to ensure prompt, professional response to
your issues.

User Comments
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product. It has saved me untold amounts of time (I'm talking HOURS here) in uploading event photographs to the website.

It provides a more familiar metaphor to our users than Plone/Zope. Our intranet applications simply will not be used to their full potential
if users do not feel comfortable in their environment.

Enfold Desktop fills my need for a bulk upload tool for Plone. Files and images are automatically typed by content in one drag-and-drop
operation, saving me countless hours of clicks. The greatest part has been the support. Any question I've had has been answered within
minutes. Enfold Systems offers support like no other software vendor I've worked with in my 27 years of professional experience.

Client component The client component requires: · Microsoft Windows 2000, XP or 2003 · Administrative privileges on the client computer · Enfold Server, Enfold Proxy and a Windows domain login to use the optional single sign-on feature |
Enfold Proxy
New! Version 3
The fastest and easiest way to speed up Plone and many other web applications
Overview
Have an existing Microsoft Windows Internet Information Services (IIS) installation? Want to integrate functionality from Zope or Plone into
IIS? Now with Enfold Proxy, easily integrate your Plone server into your IIS system.
Enfold Proxy comes with a configuration program to help diagnose common configuration errors. Not only easy to install, EP increases the average page response time by over 500%, is easy to configure and end users see an immediate difference!
Supported
Purchase of Enfold Proxy includes 30 days of installation support. Organizations can purchase extended support on a six month or yearly basis to ensure prompt response to support issues.
Features
Simple Configuration
Configure EP with existing or new IIS servers to allow normal or secure connections into Zope. IIS acts as a robust front end regardless of what
operating system Plone is running on.
Use existing virtual directories to integrate existing applications into your Plone system.
Remote Offices
Having remote offices running EP that proxy to your centrally managed Plone server can increase responsiveness considerably.
EP can store frequently served resources locally in the remote office. This means when an image or file is served once, it will be cached at the remote location for the next person at the office; saving bandwidth and increasing responsiveness.
Scalable Websites
In high volume deployments, it is common to cache certain pages that are accessed frequently. EP supports caching and invalidation of cache entries. Therefore, when your content is changed inside of Plone EP will remove the entry from its cache.
