Abstract
The paper is devoted to the general principles and methods of development and improvement of the software suite of the digital Network Operations Center of the new generation National Research Computer Network of Russia (NOC NIKS). The paper studies and systematizes the tasks solved by NOCs of large telecommunications networks including those specific to national research and education networks. Based on the results, the main tasks and functions of NOC NIKS are highlighted, the arguments and justifications for creating your own software solution are given, its novelty, distinctive competitive advantages, and unique functions are indicated, and possible directions for development and practical use are proposed. Special attention is paid to the presentation and discussion of the features of the architecture of the program core of the suite as well as interconnected basic and additional components including a set of functional and auxiliary modules as part of the core, microservices for interacting with external systems, and external services.
