Today’s network services are complex with heterogeneous network infrastructures and increasing numbers of value added services and features. Services are becoming increasingly mission-critical for end users and the need to provide an integrated view of network and service management will become vital. The cost and complexity of developing and integrating in-house network management may be too...

The Special Interest Group – Network Operations Centres (SIG-NOC) is a community effort initiated by the National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) gathered under the GÉANT Association in Europe. The SIG-NOC creates an open forum where experts from the GÉANT Community and beyond exchange information, knowledge, ideas and best practices. These cover specific technical aspects or other areas...

Supporting High Volume High Performance Data Transfer Requirements Research projects, like those related to high energy, genomics or astronomy, need to transfer large amounts of data to complete calculations and get results in a relatively short period of time. In the past, the physical shipping of hard disks full of data was frequently the fastest option. With the high bandwidths offered by...

TimeMap is an open-source weather map-like platform which provides per-segment latency/jitter measurements on a network. TimeMap is especially important for low latency applications, as they require limited latency and jitter and is therefore extremely important for network engineers to be able to monitoring and identify any changes in these network parameters in the network.

Argus is a tool for NOCs and service centers to aggregate incidents from all their monitoring applications into a single, unified dashboard and notification system. Most NOCs will, out of necessity, use a myriad of applications to monitor their infrastructure and services. In turn, they need to contend with manually managing notification profiles and monitoring dashboards in each individual...
