Within large scale data center and server room environments NOCs manage and oversee the network and IT infrastructure of the organisation 24×7 or outsource to NOC service providers who have remote access to infrastructure. The NOC support team improves facility uptime by detecting issues, implementing changes and via dashboards can monitor and manage equipment down to the rack level.

Command & Control Centers
