Details

ESN directs and coordinates the processing of metadata for files and folders.

ESN retrieves and stores the metadata in the SQL appliance or server.

After metadata retrieval, ESN directs the ESN Search (Lucene) indexer to process it for viewing in the ESN apps.

My Files files and folders are automatically retrieved and processed.

Net Folder files and folders must by synchronized through one of the methods listed in the description for Letter E in Figure 13-2.

After the metadata is processed for users, files and so on, ESN users can see the objects in the ESN apps (Letter G).

ESN apps for desktops, mobile devices, and web access let ESN users interact with the files, folders, users, and groups that are made accessible through ESN.
