Monitering
Fleets, sites and links, in one view. The page on monitoring sets out the technologies it uses, the standards they follow and how we deliver it. Monitoring of fleets, sites and links around the clock where contracted, incident response from first alarm to root cause, managed services that run the network for you, and service levels written as numbers you can measure on your own dashboard.

Every node watched. Every incident closed
The products and services of Operations centre start with monitoring, incident response, managed services and service levels. Monitoring of fleets, sites and links around the clock where contracted, incident response from first alarm to root cause, managed services that run the network for you, and service levels written as numbers you can measure on your own dashboard.

When and where, on every record
On a network for Operations centre, when and where are part of every record: a disciplined clock, from satellite time or a PTP grandmaster, and the station’s surveyed position. A degraded clock or position is written into the record for Operations centre, never hidden, and every user downstream sees the same flag.

See Incident responseVertroue
Proved before it is trusted
Every node on a network for Operations centre proves what it is before it is admitted, by answering an attestation challenge from its hardware root of trust. From then on, its keys stay in secure hardware, its software is signed, and every record it makes for Operations centre can be traced to it.
Operations
Every node watched, every incident closed
Operators of a network for Operations centre see every node at once: its state, its plan and its evidence, in one console. Each alert for Operations centre arrives with its data and a runbook, and its incident stays open until the operator records the cause and verifies the fix.
Bywerkings
Updates in rings, with rollback
No change reaches a whole fleet for Operations centre at once: software and configuration go to one canary site first, then to a few, then to all. Each ring for Operations centre passes only on health and data completeness, and a failed check returns every node to its last good release.
How it scales
One base unit, repeated
A network for Operations centre grows from one proven unit: a base node, its instruments, then the power and radio that make it a station. A relay turns stations into a site, a fleet repeats the site in many places, and capacity for Operations centre rises with each unit added, never by replacing what works.
What you get
Open where it can be, contracted where it must be
Anyone can use and build on the protocol, the methods and the open data behind Operations centre, free of charge. Under contract, Nexus Observatory Inc. builds and runs the sites, fleets and data tiers for Operations centre, priced per site and per fleet, with service levels written as numbers.

Operations centre, planned with you
Tell us which products and services of Operations centre you need, for which sites and by when. An engineer replies with a survey proposal, a design and a scope for Operations centre, and the plan grows from one site to the network you need.
