Maintaining networks can be an expensive affair. This is one of the reasons why many small businesses are outsourcing to a NOC today, to ensure their networks are being monitored, analyzed, secured constantly.
Outsourcing your NOC can help you to free up valuable internal resources that, otherwise, are forced to devote their time and efforts in monitoring your network. The entire exercise can ultimately help you optimize your processes and workflow. Not to mention, you will end up reducing your overall operational costs and running business applications more efficiently.
1. Uninterrupted Performance Monitoring
A NOC operates 24x7x365, which means the performance of your network will always be monitored to ensure that all devices on your network are functioning properly, at their optimum performance levels.
2. Unlimited Onsite/Remote Support
Since their resources are strictly devoted to monitoring and maintaining networks, a managed NOC can provide support remotely and onsite. A managed services provider can cover a wide range of network issues, right from workstation issues to server-side concerns.
3. Real-time Optimization
A Network Operations Center is equipped with enterprise-class technology that most small businesses don’t have the money to get. 24×7 NOC services are meant to help identify, report, and resolve any critical issues at any given time, and the optimization is performed in real-time that can report back on the entire infrastructure of your network.
4. Disaster Recovery
Recovering after a network disaster can be a nightmare for any small to medium-sized business. But a NOC can help you with designing, implementing, and managing a backup strategy. After all, you can always rely on an expert’s recovery plan if something critical does occur to your network.
5. Cost Savings
There are hundreds of software and tools that you are required to maintain your network. Not only you need to reserve a huge CapEx for the setup, but you also must have someone that understands each tool. This is where a Network Operations Center can help you reduce investment costs.
