Relay Agents for firewall transversal and isolation of content from external network. Content is not stored on Relay Agents—only used to route packages through firewall. The core components can be run on a single server or for greater performance and scaling Media Exchange Agents can be run on separate servers.

Media Gateway provides a content portal for users to share and exchange content. Users publish content to a set of categories where a group of users can browse through the content and select different packages for download. This creates a workspace for project based collaboration with large media assets. The Administrator define Users Policy including what categories they have access to, rights to publish, receive and/or browse packages. Administrator also defines the Categories and the hierarchical directory structure.

The Automation Engine is a module of the Manager; it enables the creation of flexible workflows that automate the processing of content in numerous ways. For instance, some packages can be uploaded directly to a category or to a user. Other packages may need to be processed differently, such as transcoding and a watermarking before publishing. End users have the ability to specify package options like availability window and whether or not the package is allowed to be forwarded by other users.
