DataMiner IBC 2022: Service & Resource Orchestration Toolkit

With the media, broadband and IT industries being digitally transformed, developing automated workflows and processes has never been more important in a data-driven environment. This affects all operational and production workflows, for example generating crash reports after a malfunction or automatically generating SLA reports.

Building on DataMiner's digital twin, which provides real-time access to data and a level of control over any technology, automation and orchestration tools help create and automate workflows and processes tailored to a customer's operation and capabilities.

It is important to deliver easily and quickly. The tools are natively integrated into DataMiner's CI/CD, which ensures a fully automated testing environment and enables users to add new features to improve workflows.

DataMiner Object Models (DOM)

Orchestrating a service starts with collecting massive amounts of data. Object Models (DOM) has evolved to freely define any kind of data model. Being controlled and incremental, collecting and filling in data has never been easier.

DataMiner Process Automation (PA)

For data exchange, Process Automation (PA) is the right tool for activities such as making requests or confirming the initiation of an event. Based on BPMN (business process modeling notation), Process Automation comes with out-of-the-box features and the flexibility to create new ones at any time.

Low-Code Applications

DataMiner Low-Code applications are easy-to-use and web-based for visualizing and manipulating data stored in object models. Data and applications can be shared between workgroups and, thanks to built-in security tools, with external partners. Service providers can, for example, develop targeted booking portal applications for media customers so they can instantly book satellite, optical or 5G connectivity.

DataMiner Service & Resource Manager

With Service & Resource Manager, management data is turned into action. Physical and virtual resources are committed that are pre-configured and connected to each other (IP, SDI, ASI, RF, etc.) just before the events start. And once the service is active, proactive monitoring and alerts management ensures high quality delivery.

DataMiner collaboration tools

Finally, with collaboration tools like the Microsoft Teams chatbot, it's never been easier to share information with users inside and outside the organization. The same goes for DataMiner dashboards. With one click they can be shared securely with anyone. And since collaboration is no longer limited to communication between users, user-defined APIs are the perfect tool for easily developing targeted RESTful APIs on the fly, for example to pass event and resource usage data to billing systems.
