THE FRAMEWORK THAT INSPIRES

SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE MADE TO MEASURE

REDNET is a highly flexible and versatile software integration framework developed by MMI for the delivery of customized solutions. It is a toolbox based on standards and is used by the MMI implementation team, system administrators and customers within their own developments.

REDNET includes a workflow engine, many media specific activities and production-proven components to be used in solutions that customers request from MMI or wish to develop themselves.

It also includes an operational environment for system administrators and is available as package solutions in areas such as media asset management, middleware, ID generation and asset repository.

REDNET IS FULLY BASED ON STANDARDS

Customers with their own development team can use it to implement their own solutions.

REDNET TECHNOLOGY STACK:

• Workflow Foundation
• RabbitMQ
• .Net / .Net Core
• Angular
• SQL Server / any entity framework database

REDNET: THE TOOLBOX FOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

LIGHTWEIGHT:
• Standalone apps
• Enterprise solutions

CLOUD:
• Used in very large cloud solutions
• Microservices
• Containers
• Server-less orchestration

CENTRAL DESIGN PATTERNS:
• Dependency Injection

CONTINUOUS INTEGRATION & AUTOMATED DEPLOYMENT

“GLUEWARE”
• Open Integration Framework

REDNET: THE ECOSYSTEM MANAGEMENT TOOL BOX

REDNET includes an operational interface that allows for the management of all processes within an ecosystem

• Live process and flow monitoring
• Configuration management
• Logging and monitoring
• Live deployment capabilities
• Time tracking for flows and processes, generation of medians

REDNET collects operational data that are suitable to support
and maintain a complex distributed ecosystem.

REDNET: THE SOLUTION BLUEPRINT

A typical REDNET SOLUTION comprises middleware services that have been assembled using the framework and a web-based UI (Portal), allowing for the management and control of processes.

REDNET ADAPTORS are Services that contain business logics and redundancy concepts which enable the communication between functional systems (Newsroom, Scheduling, Assignments, Playout, etc.) and middleware.
