You have better things to do than monitor and manage infrastructure.

How much is inefficiency—or incapability—costing you?

NOC support shouldn’t prevent you from focusing your attention where it’s needed most: innovating and growing your business.

When support activities pile up, IT managers often throw expensive tools and staff at specific problems but rarely see better network performance and happier end-users or customers.

Many teams aren’t structured or staffed to make their IT operations efficient and effective, especially 24/7. Without a better option, IT staff remain burdened with low-level support activities that steal valuable time from strategic projects.

Problems we solve Which of the following challenges are you dealing with?

Infrastructure monitoring, visibility, and observability

  • Poor network and operational observability

  • Inadequate monitoring

  • Inefficiencies from tool overload

NOC Operations Consulting

We diligently assess internal and external support requirements and draw on operational best practices to provide tiered organization structures, define appropriate workflows, and provide full operational visibility into your infrastructure and support. Work with our NOC experts to identify meaningful metrics and develop detailed reports for top NOC performance, whether you need to design a new NOC or optimize your existing one.

Tap into the most powerful NOC monitoring service available today

Our NOC service, powered by the INOC Ops 3.0 Platform, actively monitors your infrastructure and applications in real time, 24x7, to identify faults, make actionable correlations, and prepare tickets for resolution—all without disrupting your team, your business, or your customers.

This platform serves as our operating system—the intersection of technology, operations, and service delivery. Its design enables us to ingest alarm feeds from various sources, auto-correlate those events into a single ticket, and present that ticket through a single pane of glass for efficient Incident, Problem, and Capacity Management.

Inside INOC Ops 3.0

Ops 3.0 enhances NOC service's speed, accuracy, and consistency by appropriately automating key parts of alarm ingestion, correlation, and ticketing. It seamlessly integrates with various NMS platforms and ITSM tools, leveraging a robust CMDB and automated workflows to maximize the effectiveness of your existing tools. This ensures rapid incident response, cost savings, and high availability, enabling comprehensive 24x7x365 service delivery.

 
ino-Platform3.0-01

Our platform allows for the ingestion of alarm and event information from your NMS infrastructure (such as LogicMonitor, New Relic, Nagios, or Dynatrace), enabling us to receive alarms from a simple network monitoring tool or a whole suite of monitoring tools (everything from application management to traditional network management to optical or physical layer management systems). If you don’t currently use an NMS or aren’t satisfied with your instance, hosted solutions like LogicMonitor, New Relic, or iMonitor (our headless alarm management platform) are available. Integrating these NMS tools with the AIOps platform ensures seamless alarm and event management—a key service differentiator.

The core of our alarm and event management system is our AIOps engine, which utilizes machine learning to automate low-risk tasks and extract actionable insights from the vast amounts of data gathered across clients' supported environments. Our AIOps tools correlate alarms from multiple sources, perform deep inspection of those alarms, and enrich them with additional metadata from our CMDB to expedite informed action. Importantly, you can seamlessly integrate your existing infrastructure monitoring system with our AIOps toolset to retain the systems you already use while further maximizing those investments. This integration feeds alarms from your NMSs (or ours if needed) into our platform, streamlining alarm correlation, enrichment, and automatic ticket creation. After a ticket is generated, our platform automatically identifies and attaches CIs from our CMDB, giving NOC engineers clear direction for investigation before any human intervention. The platform also supplies relevant knowledge articles and runbooks, facilitating fast, accurate diagnosis and action plan development.

Our advanced CMDB enriches alarm data with vital configuration and business impact details, enabling precise assessment and action. Unlike basic CMDBs that contain only device or asset data, the INOC CMDB includes all essential information for AIOps to correlate events, create incident tickets, assess impact, and guide NOC engineers in resolving issues. This is why we prioritize creating and maintaining it throughout the service lifecycle. We ensure seamless integration of our CMDB with our clients' configurations, allowing us to associate the necessary meta information with every alarm and ticket. This equips our NOC engineers with the actionable information they need to make informed decisions. Additionally, we leverage our years of experience to enhance our clients’ existing CMDB structures and capabilities, further improving efficiency and effectiveness.

Our platform's ITSM component enhances automation capabilities by attaching CIs and records from the CMDB to incident tickets created by AIOps. This process automates initial impact assessment and provides NOC engineers with a likely set of issues and impacted service areas — even before they touch the ticket. The platform also automatically attaches knowledge articles and runbooks, enabling the NOC engineer to quickly access reference material for diagnosis and action plans, further increasing their efficiency. 

The platform automatically resolves certain short-duration incidents, optimizing NOC efficiency by focusing on critical issues and reducing manual intervention. Incidents that can't be auto-resolved are escalated to the appropriate tier of NOC engineers for expert resolution, leveraging enriched data and detailed documentation for effective problem-solving.

Direct monitoring or tools integration

Whether you need a single-source monitoring system for a currently unmonitored environment or need us to integrate with your existing monitoring tools, our service seamlessly connects to your infrastructure or your tools so alarms flow freely to us.

AIOps-enabled correlation, automation, and more

We use advanced correlation and machine learning tools to improve accuracy and quickly identify network, infrastructure, and application issues. Automation is implemented wherever possible to better respond to incidents and reduce resolution times.

ITSM and ticketing

We provide comprehensive ticket management, keeping you fully informed directly or providing one-way or bidirectional integration with your own ticketing system.

Automated alarm correlation

Our platform uses machine learning to significantly reduce the time from initial alarm to incident ticket creation. This ensures that tickets are created for every event deserving of one, and nothing is missed. We carefully and continually monitor and fine-tune the platform’s machine learning, which makes us faster and more accurate in identifying issues as we gather more data.

Incident automation

Our platform ingests alarms via our AIOps engine and enriches and correlates them with similar alarms to create a single incident ticket. Then, automated workflows assign or attach impacted CIs and differentiate the affected services or CIs from the likely cause of an incident. This level of incident automation is available on day one of service.

Auto-resolution of short-duration incidents

Momentary disruptions can cause incidents that quickly resolve themselves, which can be a useless distraction for NOC engineers. To address this, we've added automation that automatically resolves any ticket that has alarms within a few minutes. This provides faster updates to our supported clients and reduces non-productive work for the NOC.

The INOC Ops 3.0 workflow at a glance

ops 3.0 workflow
Learn a little more about Ops 3.0

The Ops 3.0 Platform enables our team to increase its accuracy and speed while reducing delays in human involvement. It frees NOC engineers to spend less time in the runbook and more time on strategic client projects.

By understanding an alarm's business impact and severity, the Ops 3.0 platform automatically prioritizes incidents to ensure critical issues are addressed first. Machine learning and automation (AIOps) automate key tasks and gather and correlate data, making it actionable for human engineers.

The AIOps toolset analyzes alarms and draws on an extensive Configuration Management Database (CMDB) to enrich that alarm data before correlating alarms and creating incident tickets. These tickets automatically attach Configuration Items (CIs) from the CMDB linked to the alarm data.

The platform then automatically attaches recommended knowledge articles that provide key details for resolving incidents—pre-gathering the information engineers need before they begin to act on it. Our support team then troubleshoots or communicates with carriers, field services teams, advanced engineers, or other third parties to guide the incident through closure. This process enables network engineers to quickly identify the root cause and achieve high availability.

With Ops 3.0, we’re leveraging our unique position in the NOC services industry to bring machine learning and automation directly into the NOC operations environment. We can finally harness and act on the vast amount of data generated in today’s infrastructure environments, marrying this insight with automation to augment and even take over tasks traditionally managed by engineers. We’re already measuring the outcome in significantly faster and more proactive response rates—and thus, happier customers and end-users.
