A network operations center on your rack
BareNOC Appliance is the always-on answer for teams and MSPs: install it once, adopt your devices, and let an AI agent watch your network, run updates, and answer questions — from the office or your phone.
🏗️ Deploy on your hardware
An ISO and scripts for Proxmox (or any VM) — boot it, run the wizard, and it's yours. No cloud account, no lock-in.
🔍 Adopt & watch
Auto-discover and adopt devices. The appliance keeps an eye on health, updates, and changes around the clock.
💬 Ask from anywhere
Chat with your network in plain English — status, recent changes, updates — from the dashboard or your phone.
How it fits together
Everything is metered, audited, and kept under your control. BareNOC Desktop is the technician's day-to-day console for client machines; the Appliance is the always-on NOC for a whole network. They're built from the same engine — pick the seat that fits.
