For some, ConOps might be a new term, but it is one every network professional should consider. It is the logic inside network operations, and it is often the key reason why networks fail or succeed. The ConOps defines the techniques and processes used to manage your network, based directly upon the larger mission goals which govern all operations.

From monitoring  heterogeneous systems to assuring service levels, automating responses to managing the world’s most sensitive warfighting infrastructure, network managers today can no longer satisfy their mission goals with simple management tools that act as if all networks are the same. The key to managing complex and converged networks is flexibility and the power to customize policies, processes and displays to meet your unique Concept of Operations (ConOps).

NeuralStar’s platform approach makes it the most powerful and flexible network management solution available, integrating any event data you need, from any device and displayed in windows completely under your control. NeuralStar is also completely scalable, from the NOC to the laptop, with the right footprint for your applications. Here are some real-life cases where NeuralStar is providing network professionals with just the management info they need, just as they want it.

• The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) uses NeuralStar to manage “the GIG,” the global network backbone for all U.S. military communications, probably the world’s largest telecom providers, comprised of 14 global networks and 100,000 network elements.
  
  
• Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) uses NeuralStar to manage the ultimate net-centric application. C2BMC, which monitors the globe 24x7 for missile launches. When you have just minutes to identify, assess and send alerts about missile threats anywhere in the world, network downtime simply isn’t an option.
