PS.NET/CAD - Architecture | |||
| System Architecture |

| CAD System Architecture Screen Shot The system utilizes personal computer based workstations for each operator on the system and separate computers, termed application servers, for support processing. A high speed local area network is used to interconnect all system components and standard gateways and bridges used to interconnect to external systems. Just as importantly, the PS.NET/CAD software is also distributed and makes maximum use of the hardware. Application software resides in the individual workstations, in the dedicated application servers, and in the gateway processors. This architecture allows PS.NET/CAD to maintain sub-second response times for all critical transactions--regardless of system activity levels. PS.NET/CAD derives its performance and flexibility from its architecture, not from the brute force of its central processor. |

Intelligent Workstations
PC based workstations are used at each complaint, dispatch, or other operator position. The workstations are active components in the system and provide most of the system application processing that is required for each individual operator. Since each operator has a dedicated computer, response times are less dependent upon overall system activity levels. Workstations are equipped with one or two high resolution monitors. Dispatch positions are normally equipped with dual monitors or triple monitors configured to support the specific needs of the dispatch position. Complaint or PSAP positions normally operate with a single monitor. Application Servers Separate computers, termed application servers, are used for functional application processing on the system, and support specific system functions. Separate servers are used for the CAD system (CAD Application Server) and for such support functions as mapping (Map Application Server), Messaging and NLETS (MatriX Application Server), Mobile Digital support (Mobile Digital Controller- Application Server). The application servers provide central control, logging, security, file searches, message routing, printing, and other functions. External System Interfaces Individual processors are also used as "gateways" to interconnect the CAD system to remote systems such as local or regional records systems, state message switching systems, or National inquiry databases. Use of a separate gateway module for each external system interconnect simplifies interface programming. Interface modules may be run on one or on multiple computers to help maintain overall system performance. Local Area Network The communication backbone for PS.NET/CAD is a standard Local Area Network (LAN). The local area network allows for very high speed communications between system components at rates over 1000 times faster than the serial data links used in traditional systems. Most standard local area network topologies and operating systems can be utilized. In large systems, newer 100 MBS networks should be used. Wide area network (WAN) capabilities are used in multi-center operations. Data Base Management System PS.NET/CAD keeps all user data in the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 relational data base management system. The use of a data base management system offers numerous advantages over flat-file and indexed structures used in traditional CAD systems. The open architecture of PS.NET/CAD allows use of many third party report writers and other software packages. This provides the capability for the user agency to generate the special and one-time ad-hoc reports that may be required. System Expansion PS.NET/CAD is the first system to fully embrace an open systems architecture based on international standards and highly modular PC components. PS.NET/CAD is designed to utilize standard operating systems. This provides protection against obsolescence, improves portability, and allows maximum freedom of choice in selection of computer hardware. PS.NET/CAD is also expandable. Small centers can install full-function, high performance systems on inexpensive personal computer based hardware. Larger centers can install progressively larger central server hardware that will meet their requirements. All departments can incrementally expand the system as requirements dictate without costly swap-outs of central CPU hardware. PS.NET/CAD can also be employed in regional systems with multiple communications centers. Incident transfers and other transactions occur transparently. Mobile digital communications, state gateways, and other services can be shared.
