AutoNOC is a highly scalable production network management platform that utilizes novel distributed grid technologies. The software is developed and maintained by AutoNOC LLC, a company founded in 1997 and based in Atlanta, Georgia. AutoNOC's founder and the primary software architect is Kyle Lussier. AutoNOC is currently used by various organizations including community colleges, university-wide WANs, eCommerce companies, and financial institutions. It is estimated by AutoNOC LLC that the AutoNOC software is used by its customers to manage and monitor 3 to 4% of global Internet traffic.<ref> </ref>

Automated Network Operations Using Grid/Distributed Computing ==
AutoNOC supports a computational model that allows many servers (called grid nodes) to be deployed. These grid nodes work together to form a large internetworked computer that shares operations tasks across all servers. Data access, acquisition, processing, and aggregation is distributed and shared across all grid nodes.

When a user connects to an AutoNOC node, this node presents to the user an interface that represents all computational resources and servers currently at use. Information across the many servers is integrated and the user may utilize the assets across the grid to perform data analysis and design custom user views of network information and things happening on networks.

== Supported Platforms

AutoNOC currently supports the following operating systems:

Linux/Red Hat

Windows 2000/2003/XP

Processing Architectures (32/64 Bit)

AutoNOC has been released and is supported for the following CPU architectures:

Intel x86 (32-Bit)

Intel Emu64 (64-Bit Hybrid)

AMD amd64

Itanium IA64

Security and Open Port Information

AutoNOC currently makes use of the following IP ports:

Port 80 (HTTP)

Port 443 (SSL)

Port 1140 (ANOC)

In the case of port 80, this is a user configurable port and may be modified by the user. Port 443 (SSL) is a standard HTTPS implementation providing secure HTTP services for secure authentication.

Port 1140 is an IANA Registerd Port that is registered for the reserved use of AutoNOC. The port provides grid node to grid node interactions, as well as a serviceable operations interpreter for which users may connect to, extract data, and interact with the network operations model in a globally integrated manner.

Supported Protocols ==
AutoNOC supports connection, monitoring and management via the following protocols:

ICMP

SNMP

SNMP

HTTP

FTP

Variety of Other Derivative of Sockets

== Technical Achievements ==
The following are the primary technical / architectural achievements of the AutoNOC software.

2005 - The vendor believes AutoNOC is 1st NMS to Handle 1,000,000 Probes at 60 Second Intervals on a Single 64-Bit Server

2007/2008 - The vendor believes AutoNOC is the 1st NMS to Integrate 10,000,000 Probes Across a Multinational Network on One Live Platform and to handle 100 Terabytes of Network Mapped Live Historical Data on One Model

Direct verification of these achievements is available by either downloading and setting up the software to test these circumstances, or to qualified individuals who may request a site appointment of a live installation.

== Industry Recognition ==
The following are industry awards and recognitions received by AutoNOC:

AutoNOC LLC Selected as a TOP 40 Most Innovative Company in 2004<ref> </ref>

== Releases ==
There are two existing, generally available releases of the AutoNOC software:

AutoNOC 2.5 (Velocity)

AutoNOC 3.0 (Nadia)

Velocity is the most widely deployed release of AutoNOC. Nadia is the fully distributed grid operations platform.
