An integrated system for monitoring a deployed product on a movable platform, gathering data about the deployed product, and disseminating the data about the deployed product is disclosed. The system includes a server located on the movable platform capable of communication with the server from a remote location. The server communicates with a source of data about the deployed product. The system further includes a portal onto which data gathered by the server may be downloaded and with which one can upload information to the server. The system includes a dual architecture card which may be mounted in an electronic controller of the deployed product. The dual architecture card may include a closed architecture section executing proprietary software, and an open architecture receiving processed data from the closed architecture section through a secured connection. One or both of the closed architecture section and closed architecture section may include a microserver.

What is claimed is: 1. A gas turbine engine comprising: a compressor section; a combustion section downstream of the compressor section; a turbine section downstream of the combustion section; a casing surrounding at least one of the compressor section, combustion section, and turbine section; an electronic controller mounted to the casing, the electronic controller controlling and monitoring operation of the engine; and a dual-architecture card mounted in the electronic control box, the dual-architecture card including an open architecture section and a closed architecture section, the open architecture section including a microserver. 2. The gas turbine engine of claim 1, wherein the microserver hosts a web page, the web page having an IP address available for a plurality of Internet protocols. 3. The gas turbine engine of claim 1, wherein the microserver generates a wireless system surrounding the engine and adapted to connect to the Internet. 4. The gas turbine engine of claim 1, wherein the closed architecture section of the dual-architecture card runs proprietary, engine-specific, algorithms inaccessible by the open architecture section. 5. The gas turbine engine of claim 4, further including a closed-loop control between the closed architecture section and other cards within the engine control box, the closed architecture section receiving raw engine data from the other cards of the engine control box, executing the engine-specific algorithms based on the raw engine data, and transmitting control signals to the other cards of the electronic control box to modify operation of the gas turbine engine. 6. The gas turbine engine of claim 1, wherein the closed architecture section includes a microserver. 7. The gas turbine engine of claim 1, wherein the dual architecture section includes a smart signal conditioner. 8. The gas turbine engine of claim 1, wherein the dual-architecture card further includes a high-security connector between the open architecture section and closed architecture section. 9.
