STAGE

This section describes the intention and general approach of STAGE.

General Overview

STAGE is Riedel’s new generation software platform to manage server-based applications that can run on different types of computer platforms such as mini PCs, on-prem servers and virtual machines.

The first product on this new platform is the Virtual SmartPanel (VSP).
STAGE is used for both Configuration and Monitoring of this new Riedel product.

STAGE is the central brain that brings various elements together such as Virtual SmartPanel app, Artist-1024, WebRTC Server, as well as 3rd party authentication system and 3rd party monitoring solutions.

STAGE introduces a new and intuitive browser-based user interface, accessible via off-the-shelf web browsers so there is no need for a client application to be installed on Client computers.

STAGE introduces key functionalities such as:

• The ability to connect to Company User Database using either External User Directory or Identity Provider to support Centralized Authentication services.

• The ability to create individual User as well as Group Permissions to control access to STAGE and Virtual SmartPanel.

• The ability to collect extensive Metrics and Logs that can be integrated into 3rd party tools e.g. to create various monitoring dashboards.

STAGE is a brand-new architecture made of multiple containerized services, which allows it to scale and grow as we continue, in the future, to add support for more devices and services.
STAGE follows EBU143 security recommendations.
