Each project is unique, and NOA's market-leading Archive Workflow Management system is adept at handling a diverse range of projects, whether they are small-scale or extensive factory-size installations!
The jobDB framework is a distributed client-server system, incorporating a central MSSQL database, NOA middleware (ProcessorHost and API), jobDB ControlCenter for task execution and administration, and various actLINE and ingestLINE processors. All file processing operations revolve around the central logical storage component, GPP (General Public Path).
Preservation projects vary in size, starting from small Proof of Concepts (POCs) for budget approvals to downscaled setups initiated by service providers, or expanding suddenly to extreme proportions. NOA's modular jobDB framework enables seamless scaling, accommodating your performance, quality, security, and distributed workload needs.
Start slow with 2.000 hours in the first year and progressively grow to 16 or 32 channels?
No problem!
Connect regional archive collections after a while by making a remote inventory?
No Problem!
The jobDB ControlCenter client application is the main interface for jobDB users and administrators to access the system.
Designed with cost efficiency and time economy in mind, jobDB ControlCenter is the starting point for the Quality Operator to approve archival assets, for the Site Manager to monitor and review operations, the Inventory Clerk to register and maintain the carrier inventory.
The jobDB ControlCenter allows the Project Manager to monitor progress and optimize resources via deep reporting.
NOA, CEO
"NOA is prepared to consistently demonstrate that achieving a 99.99% success rate in projects where efficiency, quality, and quantity are paramount is not only achievable but essential.
This commitment reflects NOA's dedication to delivering exceptional outcomes and underscores the imperative nature of maintaining high standards in digitization projects."
ProcessorHost is used as a high-level interface between actLINE processors (the software modules that handle specific tasks within a workflow) or ingestLINE digitization tools (the software applications used to transfer content from physical carriers to files) and the jobDB database (client-server scenario).
The General Public Path (often referred to as GPP) is the storage path for inter-task file communication during the execution of a workflow. It resides on centrally reachable distributed physical storage, to which only processors have read and write access. The GPP acts mostly as intermediate and temporal cache-path to serve transcoding engines or 3rd party processes (connected e.g. via CLIP).
LicenseServer is part of the actLINE product family and allows to review and manage the amount of granted software licenses, as well as to specify low-level user rights within the system.
ServiceConsole is part of the actLINE product family and it can be used to pause, resume, monitor and configure nearly all NOA service applications in a system setup.
UniversalDialoger is part of the actLINE product family and serves as a versatile, simplified operator interface designed for top efficiency in workflow and task handling.
BarcodeStation is part of the actLINE product family and serves as a unique and versatile barcode reader interface designed to boost workflow efficiency within high-throughput digitization facilities and large archives.
