What is LONI?
Logical Objctive Network Intelligience LONI is a true vendor agnostic centralized network, security, & IT infrastructure management and automation platform that delivers actionable data and ability to take instant first action whether on a desktop in office or from anywhere on your smartphone or tablet. While Loni monitor your enterprise infrastucture, you also have ability to automate any network,security, IT or service delivery related task or process. Loni also does network device configuration compliance and backups, change management, network mapping, and security automation
What is actionable data?
Actionable data is the ability to filter through all the noise/data that production network infrastructure systems produce to provide you with the most relevant information related to the incident, process or task you are trying to accomplish. Received the correlated data you need within 30 seconds using Loni’s powerful intelligent trace route feature and many other features developed by Loni’s R&D team of network engineers with over 100 years of combined experience.
What is first alert vs first action?
Most tools will only show you a notification about an issue, incident, or outage, a lot of times just a basic email. From there, the race begins to triage situation. That’s assuming you are home or in the office. LONI R&D team does not believe this is suffice for todays complex infrastructure. LONI’s world first MobileNOC and MobileSOC apps give engineers the ability to take instant action from anywhere. Loni’s SmartEyes allow you instantly walkthrough any datacenter from anywhere!
Do I need to know Python or other scripting language to use ZeroCode Automation?
Automate any network, security, or IT infrastructure task or process without writing a single line of code. Loni’s R&D team believes the concept of network engineers needing to become software developers can be counter-productive. Network engineers need to retain knowledge of hardware, configuration and CLI, device specs, design principles, protocols, algorithms to name a few, and now, want to try to add software development to that list! Loni has the upmost respect for engineers who are up for that challenge, but this should not be the industry standard, more so the exception. Network Automation is powerful and can add value to a lot of enterprises. Loni’s Zerocode automation allows your enterprise to take advantage automation without pulling your engineers into a completely different career path. If your organization has a few million dollars to build out an automation team, you will see a return on that investment in 5-8 years. Your best alternative will be Loni’s zerocode automation.

What if I already have a monitoring tool?
- How our tool can co-exist or replace…
- Gives actionable data
LONI can replace current tools, or it can serve as a complement to them. LONI integrates with your existing infrastructure so you can easily view and troubleshoot devices across your network on one platform.
For example, LONI can monitor network devices and alert you when there is an issue. If you already have a monitoring tool, LONI will integrate with your existing tool so you can see network device status and be able to act on alerts within the LONI platform. Regardless of vendor, LONI aggregates all network nodes, alerts and incidents for all locations and allows you to see Syslogs and SIEM logs for all devices in one place with the added convenience of being able to make changes as needed with right on the MobileNOC tool.
LONIoffers zero-code, on-demand automation. Its vendor agnostic built-in automation allows you to automate tasks across multiple vendors. You can perform tasks such as automating VLAN, SNMP, port changes, ACLs, security tasks, routing policies and TACACS.
LONI allows you to manage any device in your infrastructure: routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, Active Directory, public cloud, ESX private cloud and security platforms.
