Enterprise Management Cockpit Summary

(draft - not approved)

About 20 people sitting around a horseshoe table viewing 3-4 displays on a wall. Each person has an individual computer with display as well. The displays are tied back into a switch matrix which is touch screen activated.

Video Conferencing cameras are positioned to allow VTC to take place. VTC should take place over H.232 protocol similar to what is done already in E2-191, 192. It is unknown whether ISDN capabilty is required but we are assuming that ISDN is not. Number of cameras at the cockpit is unknown at this time, but likely two are needed, one for presenter and one for class/meeting attendents.

Systems should be able to communicate with distance learning classroom at SVC

Video Conf Equipment, Polycom 8400 with Phone Spoke with Sheryl Martin-Shultz of Media Services. She indicates that any equipment that does H.323 video conferencing will work with Silicon Valley Center equipment. Media Services preferrs to use Polycom equipment and the 8400 is ok to use. An improvement would be to look at the 8800 which can do data sharing and dual presentation (speaker + presentation to sites). They purchased the VSX7800s, Visual Concert, MP plus, People+Content for Silicon Valley Center.

Hi Patricia, This is to approve the request of enclosed equipments (estimated to be $75,000+) using SVC equipment funds. This request has been discussed with Bob Vitale and has been developed in cooperation with him. This request has also been discussed with TIM faculty and they have given their approval as well. If there are any questions, please feel free to reach me. thanx,

-- Suresh Lodha Director, TIM

Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 31 Dec 2005 15:51:32 -0800 From: Yi Zhang <yiz@soe.ucsc.edu> To: 'Suresh Lodha' <lodha@soe.ucsc.edu> Subject: request for equipments

Hi, Suresh,

Here is the budget estimation for the equipments. The goal of purchasing these equipments is to set up a new facility - the Enterprise Management Cockpit - which will promote the teaching and research of TIM by bringing industry executives and other levels of Silicon Valley firms to UCSC physically or virtually over tel-conferencing. It will also be used as TIM teaching labs. The equipments will be located at E2-475.

Thanks,

Yi

Hi, Randy,

Thank you. You are making a very good point. Let's try to improved it. Can you do a modification to open the window side of the rectangular (instead of the long side as shown in OptionH? ) to set the curved lectern and add an extra projection on the window side? This will accommodate 20 persons, and people can see each other as well as the screen.

The general goals are: 1) every one can see each other 2) every one can see all of the screen (For goal 1, there will be two displays of the screens to make sure all (or most) of the people can see all of the screen. One is the long side as you put on the latest design, another is on the window side.) 3) under the above constraint, maximize the nubmer of people.

Thanks,

Yi

Yi, Here is a new option based on the changes you request. Keep in mind that the people at either end of the room will not be able to see some or all of the screens.

Yi, Attached are seven alternative layouts for the ISTM Cockpit. They are very preliminary, of course. Options F and G differ only in the shape of the lectern. A curved lectern is probably not within the E2 furniture budget and will likely require additional funding.

One of the most important questions to address is how many people does the room need to accommodate. Ram originally asked for 20. Twenty appears to be do-able, but very tight.

The layouts show the marker boards but not the projection screens, which will be located 6-8" from the wall.

Feel free to suggest entirely different arrangements.

Thanks. Randy

Notes

Bob,

Thank you and Yi for the follow through.

As Yi is suggesting, I am providing more details:

• Randy Porter has a layout design for the Cockpit furniture; this might give a better visual starting point
• This layout has executives/students sitting around in a horse shoe or oval table (or recatngular arrangement): about 20
• Each person would have a common screen to view and then project on to 3-4 displays on the walls, and a second that only he/she can use and see - consider a VP of Engineering sharing the end results with others executives an dthe CEO, but running detailed calculations on his liminted domain screen. We need 10-20 of these to start with.
• We need associated 10-20 desktops or laptops - students can use these for developing code etc., when the cockpit is not being for executives and student teaching
• We need to ensure that the footprint and communication of all the applications/modules of Oracle, SAP etc. work in our environment (adequacy of RAM etc.)

NASA has two interesting elements you might like to visit and look at:

1. a HUGE local screen - very convenient in the cockpit context for an individual for viewing multiple windows and connections - used by a budget/legal person Sonia Lau
2. A touch screen, and a software platform they have developed, including an Oralce database, which they are using for Program Management (I provided the PMT URL in my writeup), to support 10,000 NASA personnel, including knowledge management

• You also had budgeted several video screen drivers/controllers
• We need (multiple) viewing panel/screen controls at the Cockpit table/chairs

• I still need to connect with SAP and Oracle and am waiting for some other call backs in this regard, to obtain more detail
• Cisco has a cockpit: I am not quite sure what it looks like or whether they will let us see it

• Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = LabStaffGroup?
• Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME = LabStaffGroup?
