A network operations center (NOC) is typically defined as the centralized location for an organization’s networking team. Hence, this team typically manages company servers, firewalls, databases, and IoT devices—anything IT network-related.
It may sound tempting for a business to run its own network operations center in its facility. However, staffing, providing hardware and software, and housing the actual Network Operations Center (NOC) in an appropriate facility to protect the equipment (with proper cooling, power redundancy, immediate fire suppression, etc.) can cost millions of dollars. Therefore, outsourced NOC services are very much sought after by businesses to prevent downtime, which has recently proved costly and catastrophic for businesses on the web or cloud.
