INOC, a 24×7 Network Operations Centre (NOC) and global provider of technology infrastructure monitoring, reporting and support services has announced the appointment of Jim Martin to the position of vice president of Technology.
An industry veteran with more than 30 years of experience with global organisations, Martin is responsible for managing the development of INOC’s monitoring technology and NOC platform, including the software development, systems and networking teams.
Prior to joining INOC, Martin was the director of operations at the Internet Systems Consortium, where he led the team operating F-Root, a worldwide anycast cluster providing critical internet infrastructure as one of the 13 global DNS root servers. Previously, he was a principal consultant at DeepDive Networks and an IP architect at Woven Systems, which was later acquired by Fortinet.
Martin is an active participant in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), where he has authored a number of Internet Standards (RFCs). In addition, he leads the IETF NOC Team, designing and delivering the network that powers the IETF.
“INOC is a customer-centric organisation that is poised to dramatically increase its capacity and scale, and provide an even higher quality product for customers,” said Martin. “I look forward to driving new technical initiatives to support INOC’s continued expansion, as well as enable us to collaborate more closely with customers and address their infrastructure support demands.”
Prasad Ravi, the chief executive of INOC, added: “Jim’s proven ability to evaluate core technologies and infrastructure, and future-proof them to grow and support INOC’s services, now, as well as in 10 to 15 years, will provide an invaluable asset to our expansion both domestically and internationally. Moreover, his decades of experience and participation in a number of industry advisory committees, professional associations and volunteer organisations have contributed to his developing strong relationships within the community that will benefit INOC’s immediate and long-term objectives.”
