So how does it work? How do you scale your model? Would you believe it is as simple as setting up portals wherever you need them on the network and filling in a dialog box? Simply select a name for the portal, assign it a unique portal ID number, and then specify the IP address and port of the nearest neighboring portal. That is all there is to scaling AutoNOC to large networks!

All the details are handled automatically and behind the scenes.

AutoNOC uses the neighboring portal as a proxy to get to other portals. Backbone portals are automatically assigned as hubs for comparative and correlation purposes.

Set, report, user, and all other objects (except for devices and device children) are synchronized across the global network. Devices and their children are stored only on the local portal, as is all historical information related to the devices. AutoNOC's peer to peer scalability provides the perfect blend of easy deployment and while maximizing the integrated nature of the portals.

Synchronization between portals occurs by passing version tracked representations of the object model between portals. This is a fast and highly adapted efficient method of keeping all portals up to data in a distributed environment.
