Nomad Digital
On Train Data Centre
Nomad Digital’s ‘On Train Data Centre’ is cloud computing at the edge, bringing computer data storage and processing on-board where it is needed. This virtualised on-board connectivity computing platform helps train builders create trains for the future.
The Data Centre can support both Nomad and 3rd party applications, providing one common place with open Application Programmable Interfaces (APIs) for secure data sharing between applications.
With technology evolving all around us, our ‘On Train Data Centre’ gives the freedom and flexibility to integrate selected train systems, making it maintainable and future proofed. This solves the challenge of physically commissioning hardware on a train, even when you don’t know at that time what applications you may need in the future. This means train operators can adapt to developing market and customer needs, building the foundation for intelligent services, today and in the future.
Applications-as-a-Service
Applications-as-a-Service refers to the delivery of computer software applications as a service via the internet. This software has been gaining an increasing share of the market, due to the cost savings and efficiency gains it can offer to organisations, regardless of their size.
Applications-as-a-Service provides financial benefits to organisations by eliminating the expense of individual user licenses which normally accompany traditional on-premise software delivery.
Applications-as-a-Service is a key focus in the customer experience space, supporting media and infotainment services. Now that analytics is high on the agenda, applications such as Nomad’s passenger counting, can now all be hosted and operated on Nomad’s On Train Data Centre.
