NETCOP: Streamlining Global Network Operations

Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Network Common Operational Picture (NETCOP)


The Client’s Challenge

Our client is responsible for providing integrated voice, data, and video networks and communications services for U.S., Allied, and Coalition Forces around the world. To provide “one look” visibility of network status, the client required an application that would automatically collect, analyze, display, and distribute network availability and quality statistics.  The NETCOP program is designed to provide our client a web-enabled, correlated situation awareness perspective of transport, networks, applications, IA sensors, and computer systems to help streamline their complex and diverse global network operations.

Meeting the Challenge

HAI’s NETCOP program effort will help our client centralize the management of disparate network operations security centers around the world, ensuring uniformity and optimal service quality across DoD’s information infrastructure. Specifically, the NETCOP software will integrate data elements from enterprise network management systems like HP Openview, Tivoli, Cisco NetHealth, and Remedy.  It will use n-Tier, distributed architectures with J2EE and Enterprise JavaBeans in a web services environment.  The consolidation of network performance information will help our client’s network managers detect and identify the root causes of network problems, correlate them with trouble tickets, and identify affected customers, services, and applications.
