Inventory management

The management of various inventories includes the creation and oversight of technical resources and pools, facility and personnel resource management, and satellite transponder slot resource management. Media operations also involve the management of incoming and outgoing signals (signal database), which can optionally sync with IS-04 registries, the management of IP multicast address ranges (integrated with IPAM systems), and general asset management including asset discovery and integration with CMDBs, among other tasks.

Built for the future, available today

dataMiner.MediaOps, available in the dataminer.services catalog, offers a package of low-code applications tailored for media operations, facilitating user experience customization.

Within dataminer.MediaOps, there are two types of applications: DataMiner applications and sample applications.

DataMiner apps

DataMiner apps are applications developed by Skyline within the dataminer.MediaOps solution, intended for immediate deployment and utilization. These applications are accessible for deployment through catalog.dataminer.services and are backed by a comprehensive roadmap designed for continual enhancement.

Additionally, the applications run on the DataMiner Standard Data Model, and are fully documented on docs.dataminer.services. Should customization be desired, development operations (DevOps) teams have the option to duplicate an application and adapt it according to their specific requirements and development roadmap.

Sample apps

Sample applications are illustrative instances showcasing additional potential uses of dataminer.MediaOps within the media operations ecosystem. These sample applications are derived from real-world projects implemented with DataMiner . They are intended to serve as foundational templates for DevOps teams, providing inspiration for the creation of novel solutions tailored to their operational needs.

Sample applications will also be available for download from catalog.dataminer.services. However, these sample applications are not intended for direct deployment in production environments. Following their popularity and reception, Skyline intends to convert select sample applications into standard applications.

the Standard Data Model

Your business's backbone for streamlined operations

The Standard Data Model (SDM) serves as the central repository for managing and organizing your business and operational metadata in the DataMiner digital twin. It provides a unified structure for capturing various aspects of your organization, including resources, personnel, transponder slot details, jobs, workflows, rate cards, media signals, assets, and more.

Designed with flexibility and scalability in mind, the SDM ensures that your data management efforts remain streamlined and future-proof.

  • Describes all data related to resources, pools, people, transponders, jobs, workflows, contracts, rate cards, etc.
  • Will be extended to also include data related to service lineups, trouble tickets, change management tickets, assets, etc.
  • Based on DataMiner Object Model (DOM) technology.
  • Describes relations between data models.
  • Data sets (instances) are backwards compatible.
  • Extendable by linking customizable sample data models.
  • DevOps engineers can create their own additional objects.
  • Cornerstone knowledge for DevOps engineers.
  • Documented on docs.dataminer.services
