GÉANT's terabit-ready network is the most advanced and well-connected
research and education network in the world. Managing such an extensive network is a complex task and GÉANT has
created an expert support structure to ensure the reliability, integrity and
security of the GÉANT network and its users. One of the specialist teams
working to manage the GÉANT network is the operation centre. which
handles the coordination and execution of GÉANT's operational service
provision. Provision of the GÉANT network is a large and complex international
service supporting a wide range of users and projects across Europe and
the rest of the world. Many of the technologies used by these projects are
at the leading edge of high-performance networking. GÉANT
engineers work closely with the technology providers to develop support
and management systems to operate this network and the services on it. GÉANT supports the exchange of knowledge and best practices among
the network operations staff of our member organisations through the
SIG-NOC special interest group.
