A NOC (pronounced “knock”) also known as a Network Operations Center or Network Management Center is a centralized place to monitor, control and manage a network. A NOC is usually at a remote location and typically monitors many different locations at once.
When a NOC has mission critical applications or multiple locations, they may have more than one NOC for redundancy or business continuity. A typical NOC may be staffed by one or more IT personnel with several monitors, displaying the overall health of the network, systems, etc. to ensure the company network infrastructure, systems and applications are operating and active.
