What Is a Network Operations Center (NOC)?
A Network Operations Center, or NOC (pronounced "knock"), is like a mission control center for your business’s technology.
It’s a centralized team of IT professionals who monitor, manage, and maintain your network and systems 24/7. Their job is to make sure everything stays online, secure, and running smoothly — and to fix problems before you even know they exist.
The NOC watches over:
Internet and network connections
Servers and hardware
Cloud services and data backups
Security alerts and system performance
Software updates and patching
In short, a NOC helps keep your business connected, productive, and protected around the clock.
