Extend ADMS Visibility Securely Without Exposing the Control Network
Executives, supervisors, engineers, and field crews often need real-time insight into distribution operations. Yet accessing the control room environment directly introduces cybersecurity concerns, increases operational risk, and conflicts with strict compliance requirements. Teams outside the control center must rely on indirect updates, screenshots, or VPN access – none of which provide a comprehensive view of ADMS activity or the SmartVU displays required for informed decisions.
This visibility gap becomes even more challenging during outages, switching events, or high-impact conditions. Decision-makers need to see exactly what operators see, but control systems must remain isolated. Utilities require a method to extend situational awareness beyond the control room while keeping all operational actions protected.
A Secure, Read-Only SmartVU Experience Designed for the DMZ
SurvalentONE Mirror is Survalent’s secure, read-only copy of the ADMS system, designed specifically for deployment in the DMZ. It delivers full SmartVU visibility – displays, geographical maps, trends, charts, alarms, operational logs, and tabular views – exactly as they appear in the control room, but with no ability to execute control actions. Mirror maintains operational safety through one-way data replication, ensuring information flows only from the active ADMS and never back into the control environment.
With Microsoft RDS and its HTML5 client features, users can view SmartVU through any modern web browser, enabling secure desktop and tablet access without installing additional software. This allows leaders and remote staff to monitor network conditions, maintain situational awareness, and stay aligned with operations – while preserving the system’s defense-in-depth design.
Mirror supports a wide range of authorized users: executives reviewing dashboards, managers supervising operator activity, engineers assessing network status, and field personnel viewing single-line diagrams before performing work. Every user sees real-time ADMS data in a familiar interface, with no additional training required.
By delivering a controlled, read-only experience in the DMZ, Mirror strengthens security posture, reduces the need for VPN access, and eliminates the risk of unintended system actions – while still giving teams the operational visibility they need.
