GlobalNOC

The Global Network Operations Center at Indiana University, or GlobalNOC, is the nation’s largest research and education network operations center. For more than two decades, our team has been shaping the future of network services and supporting some of the most advanced networks in the world.

Lighting the way for research and discovery

Our clients include research and education networks, colleges and universities, and government agencies serving higher education, research, K-12 schools, healthcare, and environmental science and weather monitoring.

Our team supports some of the world’s most powerful computer networks vital to the Indiana economy and to researchers here and around the world. For example, GlobalNOC supports networks connecting all of Indiana’s universities and colleges, facilitates collaboration between doctors in China and the U.S., moves massive physics data from the Large Hadron Collider in Europe to researchers in the U.S., and models severe weather to predict dangerous conditions. It is also home to Internet2’s network operations center.

The GlobalNOC is a true Indiana success story, bringing in people, jobs, and millions of dollars in research funding. Since 1998, it has grown from three to nearly 130 highly skilled, full-time employees, many of whom were recruited by Indiana from outside the state. In addition, the GlobalNOC attracts new IU faculty who study network performance, win federal research grants, and attract highly talented students.

The GlobalNOC community currently includes 20+ network partners in research, education, public service, and municipal operations, ranging from small and local to global in scope and impact.
