Gespage & Gespage Stratus Architecture
An architecture designed to adapt to yours !
Gespage comes in two deployment modes: Gespage (installed in your on-premises infrastructure) and Gespage Stratus (hosted in a secure private cloud, managed by Cartadis).
In both cases, the goal is the same: to offer organizations a robust, secure, and flexible print management solution that integrates easily with your existing (and future) architecture.
Gespage (on-premises)
Local control and maximum flexibility
Deployed on a Windows or Linux server, Gespage manages prints, quotas, and rules as close as possible to your infrastructure.
- Gespage Agents : deployed on your secondary servers to manage local print queues.
- Gespage Agent Tracker : keeps active print jobs in case of network outage (degraded mode).
- Gespage Remote (optional) : ensures full continuity (printing, copying, quotas) even if the main server is unreachable.
- Gespage Application Server : the main server that centralizes print logic, the web interface, and communications with terminals.
👉 Result: a multi-brand, multi-OS, multi-site model that optimizes bandwidth and secures local prints, with billing based on print points rather than the number of users.
Gespage Stratus (private cloud)
Serverless print management
With Stratus, server complexity disappears: the solution is hosted in a secure private cloud operated by Cartadis, with supervision and updates included.
- Private Cloud hosting certified ISO 27001 / 27018 / 27701
- High resilience with redundancy and 24/7 monitoring
- Unified web interface to manage all sites and users
- Multi-brand compatibility preserved (just like in on-premise)
- Native mobile & BYOD access (printing via app, email, web portal)
👉 Result: the same multi-brand, multi-OS, multisite model that optimizes bandwidth and secures local printing, with billing based on print points rather than number of users
