Internet2 Insight Console
Robust and Reliable Architecture
Insight Console is a web-based user interface that provides Internet2 members with enhanced capabilities to self-manage Internet2 network services. It is the most visible part of a robust and reliable Internet2 architecture, including:
- Front-end features and tools
- Underlying application programming interface (API) layer
- Back-end automation and management systems and services
- Optical and packet infrastructure under management through those services
That architecture is embedded within a broad ecosystem that includes federated identity and access management with InCommon, telemetry, monitoring and alerting, incident management, service requests, business services, and more.
