Pitfalls of Web based MDM

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

- 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

Pitfalls of Web based MDM

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

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

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

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

Pitfalls of Web based MDM

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

Pitfalls of Web based MDM

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
