  1. AIM Central Site / CITRIX Metaframe 4 November, 2008

  2. Central Site • Background • SWS AIM I Metaframe Central Site • CNATT Prototype Metaframe Instance • Advantages • Demo

  3. SWS Central Site • Operational since Jul 07 on fedsun server at NAWCTSD Orlando for all SWS curricula • Metrics: • 60 users (6-8 concurrent) • 33 courses • 2+ gb data storage (AIM database plus IMI) • 6 geographically dispersed user sites – TTF Bangor/Kings Bay; contractors from Cocoa Beach, FL to Pittsfield, MA to Anaheim, CA • 99%+ availability • Speed/responsiveness equal to previous local PC / LAN operation

  4. SWS Central Site(contd) • Integrated LP/TG development, surveillance, and maintenance by all community activities on single Orlando database • TTFs download approved baseline curricula in SCORM 2004/XML output format for use in Elite-equipped electronic classrooms • Only performance lags are natural longer times to upload large graphic files, import large courses from / export to remote AIM instances • Primary availability issues have been working with NETWARCOM on information assurance (IA) certifications for FEDSUN servers

  5. SWS Central Site(contd) • AIM I software operates exactly the same as local stand-alone or LAN instances from user’s perspective • Some enhanced management capabilities: • IETM interface configuration data • more granular privilege levels for multiple curriculum managers • 1/3 time CSS System Administrator with rapid learning curve when he replaced the system implementer in Mar 08

  6. CNATT Central Site Prototype • Small (5 user) independent AIM II instance set up in response to local TRANET installation problems at CNATT Unit @ Tinker AFB • Set up from scratch on FEDSUN server within 2 hours • On-line since mid-August with no problems • Required 2-hour Web-meeting for end user familiarization with Metaframe implementation – no AIM user training required

  7. Central Site Advantages • One centrally located database (configuration control) • Single authoritative source for a given curriculum throughout the community • Real-time collaboration among geographically dispersed staff (e.g., Center staff working directly with training facility, NAVSEA, ISEA, or contractor staff) • No need forimport/export-based database synchronization among disconnected sites • Everyone performing maintenance in same database • No IMI conflicts – all developers and users for all courses using the same library of IMI files • No requirement to distribute approved courses – end users can generate SCORM XML files and/or print PDF / paper LP/TG direct from Central Site • Significant time and money saver – no need to move export file and/or paper curricula from site to site • Immediate access to software updates simply by posting on Central Site server – no delays waiting for NMCI certification or complex scheduling to coordinate local updates and prevent version conflicts • Users can access AIM from any PC with internet access and CAC reader with desktop software installation and maintenance • Real-time Center online approval
