Description
As the demand for historical facility information grows,
a solution providing easy user access to system data
becomes invaluable. InfoCenter Suite™ is designed to
deliver solutions that meet ongoing facility needs for
information management tools. InfoCenter Suite
provides a means of archiving, managing and
retrieving large amounts of historical performance data
from the APOGEE™ Automation System for validation,
compliance, and management reporting.
State-of-the-art InfoCenter Suite combined with the
power and flexibility of the Windows  NT™ Server™
environment opens up new avenues in information
management. From high-level analysis to long-term
storage, InfoCenter Suite allows many users in a
facility to access trend data without having to use an
Insight® workstation, providing cost effective
information sharing. The platform provides a solid
foundation for data storage and retrieval to facilitate
tracking, analysis, and documentation of system and
facility performance.
System Architecture
InfoCenter Suite is comprised of the following
software programs:
 InfoCenter Server™  The engine behind
InfoCenter Suite provides the interface between
client applications and the Microsoft

SQL
Server™ database where all data are archived.
 InfoCenter Administrator™  Client application
for management of data in the InfoCenter Server.
 InfoCenter Report Manager™  Client
application allowing users to create report
templates to query the InfoCenter Server for
point data. Report templates can be scheduled to
automatically generate reports.
InfoCenter Suite is built on the Microsoft SQL Server
relational database engine. The SQL Server database
provides an open, flexible platform designed to meet
all your data storage needs. Performance gains and
reliability are achieved through close integration with
Windows NT Server.
InfoCenter Administrator and InfoCenter Report
Manager are client applications residing either on
Windows NT or Windows 95 platforms, and can reside
on different PC workstations from the InfoCenter
Server (See Figure 2a), or on the same PC as the
InfoCenter Server (See Figure 2b).
InfoCenter Suite includes five client application
licenses. Client applications, including InfoCenter
Administrator, InfoCenter Report Manager, or custom
report applications can be installed on more than five
computers, but at any one time, only five clients can
be connected to InfoCenter Server. Additional client
licenses are available in five user packs.
