ProjectWise Overview – Part 1 V8 XM Edition Gary Cochrane

ProjectWise is not a product A Brand name representing Bentley collaboration server products ProjectWise has traditionally been a solution for Engineering Content Management With the XM Edition, it now is a family of products that combine to form a solution for Engineering Content Management and Distribution

ProjectWise Mission Statement According to Gary To organize, manage, and find engineering content Such that content can be leveraged and re-used To eliminate geographic and time zone barriers And facilitate extended project teams To manage work processes for extended teams By enabling/enforcing standards, thus improving the quality of project deliverables

Focusing on Content Management ProjectWise provides: Centralized control of distributed content

Central Control of Distributed Content 4/17/2017 Central Control of Distributed Content File Server File Server File Server

Introducing the modules Each solution comprises one or more of the following server modules PW Integration Server PW Caching Server PW Web Server PW Publishing Server PW InterPlot Server

ProjectWise Integration Server Central component of every ProjectWise solution Formerly known as PW Application Server (At least) one in every PW Configuration Possibly more to serve large organizations (defined as greater than 500 simultaneous users) Or possibly more to provide redundancy Or possibly more when multiple sites operate independently of each other and don’t want to rely on other sites…

Before moving on… A few terms Server – a ProjectWise module that is purchased Has a corresponding Professional Services deployment fee Also has a corresponding SELECT fee. Service – Functionality included with a Server Not all services included with a Server are configured in each deployment Thus, no “standard” fee for server deployments

Example ProjectWise Integration Server includes: Content Management service File storage & caching service File indexing service Component indexing service User Synchronization Service PW Gateway Service This will make more sense soon A picture is worth a thousand words

Essential Components Either Oracle, or Microsoft SQL Server * Not supplied by Bentley In this configuration, all files are stored on the PW Integration Server * Via File Storage service

Adding Single Sign-On

Adding Single Sign-On Users not prompted for password when logging in to ProjectWise * User authentication via Windows domain

Quote / Proposal Shopping Cart for configuration shown thus far: Qty (1) PW Integration Server w/ deployment services: For Content Management service For File Storage service For Full Text Indexing service For User Synchronization service Qty (XX) ProjectWise Passport Licenses (Named User client licenses)

Scaling Up As usages grows… It may become necessary to move file storage to a secondary server This removes some load from the Integration Server Also adds flexibility as to where the files will be stored In this case, the configuration would include the ProjectWise Caching Server Configured to run the File Storage service

ProjectWise Caching Server Primary function is to provide remote file storage Formerly known as ProjectWise Distributed File Server Prior to that, known as the ProjectWise File Transfer Server Provides 3 services File Storage Service File Caching Service ProjectWise Gateway Service (more on these later)

Adding Remote Storage

Adding Remote Storage Files may also be stored on a remote server, thus reducing load on the Integration Server Files may still be stored on the Integration Server

Updated Quote / Proposal To previous quote, Add Qty (1) PW Caching Server w/ deployment services For File Storage service

Adding Remote sites Remote sites may be supported: With minimal investment No PW server infrastructure Only add PW Passport licenses for remote clients Typical for small sites With additional investment for better performance Remote file storage service Remote file caching service

Multiple Site support - Good No PW server infrastructure at site 2. Performance will be highly dependent on intra-site bandwidth.

Multiple Site support - Better

Multiple Site support - Better PW Caching Server provides file storage at site 2. Performance is significantly enhanced for remote users (provided their files are stored on PW Caching Server2). Local file transfer

Multiple Site Support - Best PW Caching Server provides file storage at site 1, and file caching for files stored at site 2. Performance is optimized for local users. PW Caching Server provides file storage at site 2, and file caching for files stored at site 1. Performance is optimized for remote users.

Caching Server Configuration – Storage Only 4/17/2017 Caching Server Configuration – Storage Only A.DGN PW Integration Server B.DGN Storage Storage PW-CS-1 PW-CS-2 Client1 Client2 Client3 Client4

Caching Server – Storage and Caching 4/17/2017 Caching Server – Storage and Caching A.DGN PW Integration Server B.DGN Storage Storage Cache Cache PW-CS-1 PW-CS-2 Client1 Client2 Client3 Client4

Updated Quote / Proposal To base quote, Add Qty (2) PW Caching Server w/ deployment services For File Storage service (“Better” configuration) For File Caching service (“Best” configuration) Note: You could move the original PW Caching Server from site 1 to site 2 And therefore only need to purchase 1 Caching Server However all files at site 1 would then be stored on the Integration Server again

Clients ProjectWise Explorer is the primary client Provides richest user experience Intended for “doers” ProjectWise also includes web browser clients Must purchase PW Web Server to enable Provides subset of PW Explorer functionality Intended for casual users, viewers, and reviewers

PW Web Server / Browser

PW Web Server / Browser In this example, the PW Web Server is available to internal users only. Although not shown, one PW Web Server can serve browser clients at both the local and remote sites

Updated Quote / Proposal To base quote, Add Qty (2) PW Caching Server w/ deployment services For File Storage service (“Better” configuration) For File Caching service (“Best” configuration) Qty (1) PW Web Server w/deployment services For Web Explorer client

Updated Quote / Proposal Note: PW Web server provides: Basic content management functionality, If web users need to view/redline drawings, add: Qty (1) PW Publishing Server With services $$ to integrate with PW If web users need Design Compare capability, add: Qty (1) PW Plot Server

External Users Within Information Technology, it is common practice to create a network “neutral zone” to support external users This is a network that can be reached by both internal and external users. Often referred to as a DMZ Created by implementing multiple firewalls, or high-end single firewalls

Neutral Zone Configuration In this example, the PW Web Server has been moved to the neutral zone. Internal browser clients may still access PW via the Web Server.

Neutral Zone Configuration

Neutral Zone Configuration By moving the PW Web Server to the neutral zone, External browser clients may also access PW via the Web Server.

Updated Quote / Proposal Same as previous scenario (from a software perspective) Qty (2) PW Caching Server w/ deployment services For File Storage service (“Better” configuration) For File Caching service (“Best” configuration) Qty (1) PW Web Server w/deployment services For Web Explorer client However, we will likely add services $$ in anticipation of DMZ / Firewall issues…

External Users The previous configuration addressed external Web browser users (viewers & reviewers) What if I want external “doers”? The ProjectWise Explorer client is internet-capable However, rarely will the network security policy of an organization accommodate such use

ProjectWise Gateway service The ProjectWise Gateway service was designed to solve such problems It acts as a “go-between” the ProjectWise Integration server and external users Remember, it’s a service, not a Server Therefore no software or SELECT fee Only adds implementation services to deploy

External Doer support

External Doer support

One last twist Rather than require a second machine in the DMZ The ProjectWise Gateway service can be installed on the ProjectWise Web Server machine

External Doer support

External Doer support

PW Passport client licensing ProjectWise Client licensing is “Named User” You need one, for each user Does not matter if they are PW Explorer users, or PW Web browser users Client licenses are not “poolable”, “shareable”, or “floatable” Usage is measured based on the number of unique names that access the system NOT based on peak concurrent usage (like MicroStation)

Client Licensing Mitigating factors PW Passport license fee dropped to US MSRP $360 SELECT provides 1 PW Passport for each MicroStation license covered This license is not an owned asset, but a benefit of SELECT If SELECT contract is cancelled, this benefit is forfeited PW Passport covers access to all Bentley servers Also covers access to desktop applications including: PW Navigator, Bentley Redline, InterPlot Client

Summary This should help you understand common ProjectWise configuration scenarios This discussion was limited to “ProjectWise Classic” Next week, we will look at SharePoint and associated Bentley solutions We will also look at Geospatial components of ProjectWise
