See the Bigger Picture of Network Performance

Haivision MCS video wall systems serve teams in some of the largest network operations centers (NOCs) in the United States. With a Haivision system, your team can display and monitor all of their network management tools on a multi-HD display canvas. Technicians can easily share data on the video wall or across the network, working collaboratively to diagnose and resolve issues.

As a comprehensive solutions provider, Our experts design and deliver complete visualization systems, including the displays, controllers, video wall software, and more. Once completed, your custom video wall system will be installed at your facility and seamlessly integrated into your environment.

What to Consider When Building Your NOC

Network Operations Centers exist to help give network engineers and operators a holistic view of their organization’s network health. The users in these facilities depend on software applications that integrate with their system to identify and mitigate incidents as they occur. When planning your NOC, there are several factors to assess as you get started.

Placement

  • Do you rely on single applications or entire platforms?
  • What core applications must always be accessible?
  • How many of your applications are web based?

Integrating existing technology

  • How accessible is system hardware?
  • How often do you add new applications/tools?
  • How many different software platforms does your staff currently utilize?

Staff schedules & training

  • How long is the average technician shift?
  • Do you have your own internal technical training?
  • Do you have a technician hierarchy for escalating network issues?

Physical space

  • Can your existing space physically hold a video wall as is?
  • How many technicians will operate the NOC at once?

Access All of Your Tools in One Place

NOCs are structured around a dashboard that allows technicians to recognize incidents and respond to network alerts as they occur. Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) software tools are essential to every NOC. Our solutions are built around the ability to seamlessly integrate with the necessary tools and hardware teams already rely upon or will eventually use within operations centers.

Since most SIEM applications are web based, typical NOCs need to house multiple computers to host these apps. Haivision solutions remove the need for additional equipment through CineAgent, which allows users to access web-based applications directly through the Command 360 video wall control platform. Our video wall puts the most crucial information at the front and center of your Network Operations, giving you a complete view of overall network health.

Distributed Networks and Remote Access

There are many situations that might require operators or decisions-makers to access your NOC remotely, or communicate entire dashboards of content between facilities on your network. It is important your visualization system accounts for these scenarios without sacrificing performance or functionality.

Haivision has your organization covered in even the most unforeseen circumstances by allowing verified users and operators to access your system remotely or from adjacent ops centers on your network. Through the Command 360 Platform, users can maintain access of web-based apps across ops centers to use in real-time, even when remote.

System Component Considerations

Each NOC is different, with specific needs and requirements. Your visual collaboration system will be custom designed to meet and exceed the specific needs of your organization. Below are some of the considerations for the hardware specific to most network operations centers.

LED or LCD Displays?

LED and LCD displays offer varying advantages based on the type of content being displayed. When it comes to NOCs, LED tends to be the recommended choice as they are better equipped for data focused information. Our CineLuxe LED displays offer several advantages for your operations center:

LCD and LED Video Wall Displays

  • SCADA dashboards and spreadsheets are best displayed through seamless LED tiles
  • LED pixel pitch can be customized for any sized video wall
  • 100,000 hour standard LED lifetime with redundant power supplies
  • CineLuxe displays consume up to 35% less power than competing LED solutions

Web-Based Application Control

NOCs rely heavily on the constant use of many web-based software tools to monitor overall network health. Typically, these tools demand the processing power of their own dedicated computers to keep critical applications running around the clock. CineAgent allows operators to access and run these apps on your video wall from Command 360 through your current system for a more streamlined and efficient workflow in your NOC.

CineAgent Streaming Server Family

  • Stream four concurrent web applications per server
  • Full soft KVM interaction with your video wall
  • Reduce load time by continuously streaming required apps
  • Consolidates overall hardware needs throughout your NOC
