Nimble Dashboard will be a deployable version of WMSPanel, the cloud control service which our customers from across the globe successfully use since 2011.
This page describes key features of the upcoming product.
Flexible deployment
Nimble Dashboard will be available for deployment as a standalone instance. Its feature set is almost identical to WMSPanel and both products are deployed from the same source which make them working identically.
The following workflow is applied to Dashboard usage:
- Nimble Dashboard core is installed on any bare metal or virtual server anywhere within the reach of your Nimble Streamer instances.
- Dashboard is activated in your existing WMSPanel account for billing purposes.
- Nimble Streamer instances are registered in Nimble Dashboard for further operations. As an option, we can migrate all settings into your Dashboard.
- Nimble Streamer instances are then controlled via Dashboard and only you and your team has full access to their settings.
- Dashboard backups, their check and restore can be performed by your staff, with proper instructions from Softvelum staff.
- Nimble Dashboard reports billing information to WMSPanel for further charges (see Dashboard pricing and billing below). Dashboard must be able to connect to WMSPanel periodically for that reason.
Control your fleet of servers
Nimble Dashboard allows you to manage all your Nimble Streamer instances from a single point with no streaming interruption.
Control the behavior
- Multiple servers can be controlled via singe Dashboard UI.
- Set up live streaming scenarios for incoming streams and define proper live output.
- Set up video-on-demand transmuxing settings if you need VOD.
- Manage Live Transcoder scenarios for live streams transformation: making ABR, scaling and much more.
- Every setting can be applied to multiple servers within a few clicks simultaneously.
- All settings are applied on-the-fly without streaming interruption.
- Use centralized API to control all servers and access all statistics.
- Monitor server performance.
- Create backups of any server configuration in the cloud.
- Restore any server from its previous state if needed.
Multiple user access
- Non-admin users can be given permissions to control Nimble Streamer server instances.
- Admins may also assign a group of non-admins to control a separate group of servers using data slices.
- Non-admin users may have logins to access reporting.
Define paywall settings
- Hotlink protection prevents links sharing.
- Geo-lock sets the limit to viewers by their location.
- Pay-per-view framework allows building sophisticated monetization mechanics.
- Other paywall features that might help your business.
Streaming reporting
Aggregating data from multiple servers and giving access to it and make slices of data to see isolated portions of stats
- Real-time and retrospective reporting.
- Daily stats reports with connections, traffic and bandwidth, geo-location, time metrics, devices and players.
- Unique visitors stats for slices, streams and files.
- In-depth reporting with per-file and per-stream stats.
- High precision report with 5 minutes detail level.
Dashboard pricing and billing
The pricing is the same as you pay for WMSPanel, including cost of Nimble Streamer instances, Transcoder and Addenda licenses, and all other options and paid features, except API calls limit.
The payments are made from the account credit which you fulfill by making direct wire payments. This will need a direct contract as well.
Additional support services like creating backups, their check and emergency restoration, basic performance monitoring and installing upgrades will need an additional contract with separate payment schedule.
