Client-Server MDM Architecture exemplified by openmdm - Central servers - Filer (optional) - DB-Server - ASAM ODS Server - openmdm Server - Local computation - openmdm Client - Data traffic on the network - Various channels and protocols - CORBA on the network page 8 Dr. Dietmar Rapf Web based data management systems gains and drawbacks

Web based MDM-Architecture exemplified by scwebmdm - Central servers - Filer (optional) - DB-Server - ASAM ODS Server - Web-Application Server - Load Balancer (optional) - Web Server (optional) - Central computation - Rendering information on the network - Access through https - CORBA only between servers page 9 Dr. Dietmar Rapf Web based data management systems gains and drawbacks

Gains of Web based MDM - Measured data management system is available - Everywhere - For everybody - For a variety of devices (almost any device with web browser and network access) - With full functionality - No installation of client software needed - Actual web browser is sufficient - Network connection is needed - Web based MDM runs in a sandbox - No additional programs needed locally - CORBA protocol only between servers page 11 Dr. Dietmar Rapf Web based data management systems gains and drawbacks

Gains of Web based MDM - Data must be on centralized storage - No decentralized data storages - No local data keeping - All data are available for everyone - High speed connection between storage and server - Fast data assessment of huge amount of data - Massive speed gain - Centralized access control - Centralized administration possible - Security requirements can be enforced more easily page 12 Dr. Dietmar Rapf Web based data management systems gains and drawbacks

Gains of Web based MDM - Analyses of data - Centrally and standardised - Known toolset - Identical toolset for everybody - Uniform methods for everybody - Reproducible - Methods under version control - Automated operation - In background - Automatically by status triggers - On demand by users - Performance optimised - Scalable infrastructure - Compute cluster for complex or time consuming analyses page 13 Dr. Dietmar Rapf Web based data management systems gains and drawbacks

Gains of Web based MDM - High security requirements feasible - Two way authentication - Authorisation depending on - User rights - User classification - Data classification - Valuable data don t have to leave the company - External engineers work on central server and storage - Data transfer can be suppressed - Data export can be forbidden - Central rendering of results - Only graphics are transferred page 14 Dr. Dietmar Rapf Web based data management systems gains and drawbacks

Pitfalls of Web based MDM - Interaction with local tools is difficult - Web MDM runs in a sandbox - No easy data transfer between Web application and local tools and devices - Special programming needed to interact with local tools - Security is weakened - Users expect normal behaviour - Although the web application is their choice, they expect client-server behaviour - Interaction with local tools expected page 16 Dr. Dietmar Rapf Web based data management systems gains and drawbacks

Conclusion Gains of Web based MDM systems outbalance the pitfalls - Engineers can access their data everywhere - Data are available for everybody - Huge amounts of data treatable - Standardisation of methods and analyses - Huge automation potential - High security of valuable data is feasible page 18 Dr. Dietmar Rapf Web based data management systems gains and drawbacks
