For bigger organizations, even a minute-long server downtime can stretch losses to millions of dollars. While the extent is relatively smaller for small organizations but is no less critical and such errors in the IT industry can jeopardize the entire functioning of businesses. Therefore, network operations centers are crucial in administrating and monitoring network infrastructure.

NOC is an acronym for the network operations center. In the industry of managed services, it is the monitoring and remediation of various network aspects for businesses. This is where administrators perform the supervision, monitoring, and maintenance of a telecommunications network. Companies with large networks typically have a NOC, which is a room that has network visualizations or monitoring of the networks.
