Generic Matrix Virtualization

About

The Generic Matrix Virtualization connector makes it possible to visualize multiple matrices in a single (virtual) matrix, so that you can abstract low-level matrices into one matrix.

Key Features

  • Matrix abstraction: Combines multiple physical matrices into a single virtual routing matrix.

  • Concatenation support: Maps and joins inputs/outputs from various matrices to form an extended matrix.

  • Tie-line handling: Manages internal and inter-matrix connections with automated failover and status reporting.

  • DCF integration: Supports the DataMiner Connectivity Framework To read out processing unit connectivity.

Use Cases

Use Case 1

Challenge: An operator needs to control and route across several physical matrices (SDI and IP) from different vendors as one logical unit.

Solution: Using the Generic Matrix Virtualization connector, a unified virtual matrix is created over multiple physical ones.

Benefit: Reduced complexity and increased routing flexibility.

Use Case 2

Challenge: Tie lines between matrices must be optimized to ensure redundancy and performance.

Solution: Tie-line configuration and prioritization are handled automatically by the connector, with fallback strategies in place.

Benefit: Increased reliability and smarter routing decisions in complex deployments.
