FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2008 ... the Year of 10 Million Probes
AutoNOC 3.0 Delivers Skies the Limit Scalability
ATLANTA, GA, January 7, 2008 - AutoNOC is pleased to announce that it has
enabled AutoNOC 3.0 experimental subscriptions for existing customers. 3.0 is still in
it's early stages of testing and customer feedback, however, the core grid architecture
has been completed.
AutoNOC 3.0 represents the final
architectural evolution of AutoNOC and we feel confident it will handle any existing
managed network both now and for many decades. Architectural, protocol, and systems
improvements in AutoNOC have roughly followed Moore's Law over the course of the last 10
years. The following graph shows the approximate probe capacity of each iteration of the
AutoNOC core.
Why Does Scalability
Matter?
Scalability is one of those things that isn't important until you know that it is
important.
Real Scaling Means
Commodity Hardware
Customers should not have to spend $500,000 to buy a new server to scale software.
Good software runs on the customers choice of hardware and meshes well both technically
and architecturally with the users environment. AutoNOC can run on Windows or Linux. It
can run on low-end 32-bit Linux servers and high-end 16+ CPU 64-bit Linux servers and
these servers and the code has been optimized to provide superior performance in any of
these configurations.
No End in Sight
for Network Growth
Every where we look there are more devices, more servers, more IPs, more users,
more applications being deployed on the Internet. It simply isn't stopping and doesn't
appear to be stopping anytime soon. The large problem with traditional management
architectures is they often solve a small problem or subset of operations problems, the
organization grows or changes, and the old software hits the scalability wall. AutoNOC 3.0
does not suffer from this problem. It can be deployed now and grows linearly with your
organization's growth.
Features Break if
Underlying Architecture Not Scalable
The worst thing that any IT professional can do is to build a lot of IT
functionality onto an architecture that won't scale. Because, when the underlying core
breaks, all the features and dependent investments break as well. This is a primary reason
why scalability has been at the forefront in AutoNOC's design from the beginning.
Your One Model to
Rule It All
AutoNOC 3.0 provides an architecture that integrates all hardware on a network and
presents all of it as a single unified, integrated operations model, irregardless of how
many servers are being used to manage the model. Did you buy out a company and have
another data center that needs to be integrated? Just add another AutoNOC server and
it becomes an integral part of your global operations model.
