DataMiner is a unique, vendor-independent multi-vendor network management solution, with a pronounced open architecture, specifically designed for advanced management of earth stations, headends, backbones, datacenters, HFC networks, digital television platforms, satellite uplinks & downlinks etc. It is the first software platform capable of unconditionally interfacing with any third party device, including any proprietary interfaces. Today over 1500 drivers have been deployed for devices supplied by over 300 different industry vendors. Moreover, these drivers are designed in an open XML format, so that anybody can create new drivers, or modify existing drivers. For any proprietary interface, DataMiner will also provide a seamless conversion to SNMP, such that any device can be interfaced with any third party SNMP compliant software application.

DataMiner offers unlimited client web access, such that the monitoring environment can be accessed from any location, with a standard PC. The intuitive graphical interfaces provide comprehensive features for real-time data, trend analysis, alarm management, notification, etc. DataMiner features also a powerful graphical user interface to dynamically present the system in rack diagrams, floor plans, schematics, etc. with drawings based on standard Microsoft® Visio® drawings.

The unique power of the DataMiner multi-vendor technology allows you to cover any aspect of your operations including any operational device or element management system in satellite, HFC broadband, broadcast, as well as environment (air-conditioning, electrical infrastructure, fire detection, badge access control, weather, etc.), IT infrastructure, and including various test and measurement applications (audio and video analyzers, spectrum analyzers, MPEG analyzers, transport stream analyzers, etc.)

With DataMiner in place, you have a guarantee that you can always deploy the best of breed from any vendor, that you can lock in on new market potential in no time and be the first to reap the associated revenues.
 

2. Open XML-based Driver Format

DataMiner drivers are capable of interfacing with any manageable device, whether it has a standard management interface (e.g. SNMP) or a proprietary one. In addition, DMS drivers are modeled in an open, accessible XML format and thus can easily be edited by anyone, you yourself can edit/create drivers or you can rely on our extensive library of existing drivers and our professional engineering services.

With DataMiner in place you can rest assured that you have an open standardized platform, and that all your options remain available at any time throughout the deployment, no strings attached.
 

3. Fully SNMP Compliant Solution

DataMiner offers you as well full SNMP Manager as SNMP Agent functionality. Each device managed by DataMiner including the proprietary ones, is assigned with a unique virtual IP address and an SNMP Agent to interface with any third party SNMP compliant management software. In other words, all devices managed by a DataMiner System, including the proprietary ones, are automatically converted to full SNMP compliant devices (including managed SNMP trap forwarding to multiple SNMP Managers, SNMP gets and SNMP sets).

With DataMiner in place, you can rest assured that no matter what devices you have deployed today, or will deploy in the future, from a TCP/IP network perspective your plant will appear fully SNMP compliant, keeping all your options open to deploy any SNMP compliant software tools and applications.
