Speaker
Description
The GÉANT SIG–NOC (Special Interest Group for Network Operations Centres) is a group in the GÉANT community formed by members of Network Operation Centres (NOCs) as well as network engineers involved in the integration and optimization of NOC tools and processes.
SIG-NOC is a forum for exchanging and promoting ideas, experience and knowledge on NOC tools, functions, workflows, procedures and best practices, facilitate inter-NOC discussions, liaise with GÉANT Operations (and other e-infrastructures), provide a breeding ground to discuss, and elaborate and disseminate early thoughts, that can evolve into projects or services.
Many of the SIG-NOC members attend TNC and the Community Hub meetings have proved to spark conversations, arise topics that then turn into discussions or presentations for the SIG-NOC meetings, fruitful ideas to steer the group, learn about the evolution of the networks with Automation and AI, find common pain points and concerns, etc.
This proposal aims to have an informal unplugged session around the SIG-NOC, with an initial and short nostalgic view of the past 10 years (as last year it was the 10th anniversary of the group), a debate on the future of Network operation Centres and possible creative and engaging activities to keep NOCs as interesting places to work on. The next round of the SIG-NOC Tools survey will also be discussed, to gather feedback and make it even more useful for the research and education community.
What will the TNC audience take away from your talk?
Participants will gain a brief perspective on the evolution and future of SIG-NOC in particular, and Network Operations Centres in general. The session will be useful to highlight shared operational challenges, emerging trends, and ideas to try to keep NOCs engaging and innovative workplaces.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to provide feedback for the next SIG-NOC Tools Survey.
