Consolidate architectural solutions for high performance transaction environments while satisfying the special requirements of 3D product life cycle management.
ENOVIA Enterprise Architecture is an enabler that provides infrastructure components for PLM solutions including authoring applications (CAD, CAE, CAM ), multi-tier, distributed, applications and collaborative solutions.
The Enterprise Architecture is delivered through four unique products:
Multi-tier Architecture product - provides the tools necessary to define the ENOVIA system topology
The characteristics of the ENOVIA Enterprise Architecture products include:
A high level of scalability capable of adapting to many different enterprise sizes and organizations.
A transaction environment tuned to give users the response times they expect based on the complexity of their requests: short response times for trivial queries and acceptably longer times where the user makes high-function demands on the applications.
Support for authoring environments involving very large data volumes, off-line creation and use of definition data such as CAD models, concurrent changes to very complex product definition elements and complex knowledge relationships between multiple product definition components.
Ability to easily re-engineer system organization and adapt it to rapidly changing engineering development organizations.
Support for large data volumes and the management of persistence in a widely distributed environment.
Standards-based, using industry and de-facto standards such as STEP, Internet, UNIX, Windows and JAVA.
Strong security and authorization mechanisms.
What's new?
In this release V5R21 ENOVIA Multi-Tier Enterprise Architecture provides the following new enhancement.
Rules Based Generation of Derived Formats Allowing users to turn off the File Introspection utility for files based on customer-defined rules and based on the attribute values of object types.
This provides more control when generating derived formats, allowing users (when necessary) to avoid the generation of large amounts of derived formats in the database. This results in more efficient management of shared IP content optimizing performance, capacity, and scalability.
Product Highlights
Multi-tier structure featuring rich client, application server and database server layers
Platform-independent client layer using Java for implementation in an OS-based or browser-based environment
Platform independent server layer
Support for Websphere Application and Portal server capabilities
High-performance application server layer
DB2 or Oracle support at the database layer
Use of major industry and IT standards.
Product Key Customer Benefits
ENOVIA Enterprise Architecture is a common infrastructure for Product-Process-Resource (PPR) modelers and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) applications. It is specifically designed to satisfy enterprises that participate in large PLM supply chains. Customers using the architecture benefit from its ease of installation, scalability, topological flexibility, ease of customization when used with CAA products and administration.
The ENOVIA Enterprise Architecture is the enabler for supporting major business initiatives such as:
Product development across the extended enterprise
B2B collaboration across the design and supply chain.
Information system consolidation and federation around a common backbone
Installation of a comprehensive and collaborative PLM system
