For Cisco PowerVu Network Center Release 13.0, Cisco has reworked the platform to allow for future architectural
changes and server technologies. The release is split into two application modules:
●
An integrated receiver/decoder (IRD) management focused module with a dedicated new IRD database
including new web UI
●
A Network Management System (NMS) and Conditional Access System (CAS) focused module, which is an
evolution on the previous Cisco PowerVu Network Center version and retains its well-known client-based UI
Cisco continues to target the single server deployment model, allowing for installation of both applications on a Sun
Server. The new application split does allow for an extra deployment model that targets customers with many
Cisco PVC systems who are looking for a Cisco supported centralized IRD management model. In that deployment
model, the Cisco Unified Computing System

(Cisco UCS
®
) server is introduced as the central server for the
centralized IRD management software module. Please contact your Sales contact for extra information if you are
interested in the new deployment model.
