SQL Server Module
In version 10 PageGate now has the option to use a database provided by Microsoft SQL Server. This configuration can has many benefits.

PageGate version 10's support for SQL databases makes it easier than ever to integrate PageGate into your existing infrastructure! Using SQL can make storing and accessing PageGate's data much easier for clients and it provides methods of connection ideal for local and remote connection. With Microsoft's support of encryption for SQL, this also provides a secure method for connecting remote systems to the PageGate server, whether that's the PageGate GUI Client installed on a workstation or another application that needs to interact with PageGate's database.
