ORBITCAST

Is data transfer to your various offices around the world a real nightmare for both you and your network?!

We know for a fact that most of you will answer in the affirmative to this question. For it is indeed nothing short of a nightmare to find the perfect vehicle with the perfect technical backing, perfect reliability, perfect speed and perfect quality to hand over your critical data for carrying across. Most of the times you have to make do with second-rate services and promises and yes the nightmare continues till the agonizing final receipt confirmation comes back.

But who says this nightmare should continue every time you decide on a file transfer? Not atleast with ORBITCAST solution on the board now. Our ORBITCAST proposition offers an intelligent, perfect solution to your data transfer worries. It cuts through the common impediments of other alternatives in the market like,

Unicast: which involves the dreary update course from one location to other. The process, though reliable, is very tedious and time consuming. And if the number of locations are more, the process then is a real pain to say the least!

Broadcast: which is notorious for flooding the network, which causes a network choke. Moreover the nodes that are not intended to receive the message too will experience heavy traffic due to the broadcast. In addition to this the reliability of the broadcast is again a suspect.

Our ORBITCAST proposition rises above all these obstacles to emerge as a reliable multicast solution, which e-nables the optimization of your network process most efficiently.

Multicast applications include transmitting, distributing/updating software and disseminating financial data and can be very handy for providing:

  • Connectivity for Software upgrades, Distribution and Downloads.
  • Corporate with in house software development centers, software houses.
  • Connectivity for replicating databases disseminating financial data etc.


Why send software on CDs when you can ORBITCAST to multiple sites in one go?

Software and software upgrades can be cut into CDs and sent. True. But is this really as easy and reliable as that? False.

Besides the usual pain of cutting the requisite knowledge into CDs, this option also carries with itself the anxiety of keeping track of the delivery of the CDs at the correct time and location. Add to this the fact that when any upgrade of the software comes, the process has to be repeated all over again the excruciating circle.

However with our steadfast Satellite video/data multicasting solution, you will never need to enter this loop. ORBITCAST eliminates the need for circulating the CDs, by providing a reliable multicast solution.

Why unicast to one site after another when you can ORBITCAST to all sites in one shot?

Unicast, though reliable, is certainly not an effective way of doing upgrades. The process of doing unicast from one location to other is wearisome and time consuming. Separate bandwidth also needs to be allocated for the purpose. Our ORBITCAST proposition, on the other hand enables multicasts to different locations in one swift, glitches-free go!


Why interrupt all PCs and their applications in every site, when you can ORBITCAST to selective PCs at each site?

Broadcasting of data and application degrade the performance of a network as the PCs which are not intended to receive the data will also end up receiving it. This induces the network choke and results in loss of productivity. A waste like no other in networking terms!

ORBITCAST has an answer to this fret as well. It provides you the worry-less option of a reliable multicast to 10, 100…500 PCs in one go, without affecting the performance of the PCs which are excluded from the multicast.

Why worry whether the update was successful when you can ORBITCAST reliably?

Looking up anxiously at every update point to keep in track of the journey of the precious data... Does that sound familiar too? So lets cut out your familiarity with this agony as well… ORBITCAST will keep you free from the worry of checking and back checking of successful Update so that you don't have to keep track on updates at every location. In case of a download failure, it gives a prompt negative acknowledgement and the download is instantly commenced specifically for that packet/file.

…So ready for a file transfer??? …A nightmare converted into a dream by ORBITCAST !

Wireless Frame Works

Companies that have got a good web site often tend to think that they have their content delivery challenges covered. This was true until the explosion of wirelesss devices changed everything. These companies are losing potential business opportunities, if they are not present on the wireless web too. This lost competitive edge can be regained, if there is was a way to render one's web site on the screens of the innumerable wireless mobile devices available now.

There are two ways to achieve this: First, through Manual content reengineering, and second through the use of transcoding applications. The former method is an expensive and time consuming process and the latter is very cost effective and can be implemented almost overnight. The ORBIT Wireless Framework is such a tool which will enable your company to Go Wireless overnight.

The ORBIT Wireless Framework is a plug-in solution, based on the eba Site2Wireless product (EBA Systems), which will work with your existing web site. Requests from mobile devices are serviced by the on-the-fly conversion of the web contents, transcoded according to the requesting edge device's content handling capability. Hence there is no need to manually reengineer the site. Thus, this non-intrusive transformation engine leaves the original web content intact so that it is available for browsing from the normal desktop web browsers.

ADVANTAGES OF OUR SOLUTION

  • This Wireless Framework allows you to render your site's contents to almost any wireless devices. The content can be rendered using different types of markup languages like HTML, CHTML, HDML, WML, etc. and hence mobile presence anywhere is assured.
  • No expensive manual content reengineering is not needed and hence the time taken to wireless enable your site is very minimal.
  • Client side scripting is supported by executing the same from the server side.
  • Since this product has been done in Java, platform independence is achieved which goes a long way into deploying this solution anywhere.
  • Since this is a non-intrusive approach, practically no client resource is needed to execute the project and full consulting support will be provided from Orbit Austraali.
  • This product can be integrated with eba Enterprise2Wireless Server (EBA Systems) which is the world's first Siebel certified Wireless Application Integration product.
  • Integration with Enterprise Information sources can be easily built using either the lightwieght connector technology based on the eba SDK. The connectors can range from synchronous lightweight connectors to persistent, queued, asynchronous connectors depending on the specific needs of the customer.

COMPONENTS OF OUR SOLUTION

ProxyModule: This module intercepts the requests from various wireless devices and can be considered as the entry point to the Wireless Framework. After identifying that the request is from a wireless devices, ProxyModule will invoke the other modules in the Wireless Framework namely, RMT (Rapid Mobile Transformation Engine) and ESCAPE (Engine for Script Control And Program Execution) to optimize the response to the wireless devices. After transformation the response to the wireless device is sent back by the ProxyModule.

Escape Engine (Engine for Script Control And Program Execution): This module is responsible for handling the client side scripts. Scripts are handled at the server side on behalf of the devices which do not have the capability to handle the scripts at all or for devices which do not handle certain kinds of scripts.

Caching Engine: This module acts as a repository to help the smooth and efficient functioning of RMT and ESCAPE Engines. The transformed contents optimized for a particular device are stored in the Caching Engine by RMT, so that these pages could be served dynamically as and when needed later. ESCAPE Engine also uses Caching Engine extensively in the process of its execution of client side scripts.
RMT (Rapid Mobile Transformation) Engine: RMT is a vital component of the Wireless Framework. This component will use XML based Device Profiles and Content Profiles to transcode content in accordance with the capabilities of the device. The rendering content may be HTML, WML, HDML etc. depending on the device. The transformations performed by this component are Image Conversion, Video Skimming, Content Selection, and Text to Speech Conversion.

CUSTOMIZATION STEPS

  • The transcoding technology built into the solution can format generic content very well. However, there may be site specific, repeating transactions that you may want to more define very precise formatting parameters. This is easily done using the Markup IDE. This visual tool uses the familiar browser paradigm to markup the target pages and store the formatting of those pages separately from the pages themselves as RDF files. These RDF files are then used dynamically to transcode pages on the fly.
  • Integration of existing Enterprise Information sources into this solution can be done very easily using the eba connector technology.
