Managed NOC: proactive network operations
Most businesses find out about a network problem when someone cannot work. A NOC service flips that: lightweight collector agents at your sites feed our hosted monitoring stack, which watches the uptime, performance, and capacity of every device and link your business runs on and raises the alarm before a small problem becomes an outage.
What you get with a managed NOC
A managed NOC is a network operations center you subscribe to instead of staff. Lightweight collector agents at your sites report into our hosted monitoring stack, and from there we watch the uptime, performance, and capacity of every device and link your business depends on. When something drifts out of normal, you hear about it before your users do.
Continuous device and link monitoring
- Every switch, firewall, access point, server, and site link on watch, all day, every day
- Uptime, performance, and capacity tracked per device, not just a ping check
- New gear picked up as your network grows
Early-warning alerting
- Alerts fire on the leading signs, rising port errors, climbing utilization, flapping links, before users feel anything
- Thresholds tuned to your environment, so an alert means something
- Silver adds priority alerting; Gold adds 24x7 response under an SLA
Trends and a single pane
- Capacity and performance trends that show where the network is headed, not just where it is
- One pane across every location, so a status question has one answer
- Historical reporting on Silver and Gold, custom dashboards on Gold
The crisis-replacement trap
Without monitoring, network gear announces its retirement by failing. The replacement happens in a crisis: overnight shipping, whatever part is in stock, an engineer pulled off other work, and a business that is down while all of it happens. The gear cost the same either way. The outage did not.
Trend data changes the sequence. A switch that throws more port errors each week, or a link creeping toward its ceiling, shows up in the monitoring long before it turns into a failure. You replace it in a planned maintenance window, with the right part at a normal price, and nobody outside IT ever knows. That is the point of a NOC: replace gear on a schedule, not in a crisis.
How it works
Setup is deliberately light. We deploy lightweight collector agents at your sites, they discover the devices and links you care about, and they report into our hosted monitoring stack. From that point the stack builds baselines, tracks capacity and performance trends, and raises early-warning alerts, and you see all of your locations on a single pane.
Pricing is public. Managed NOC starts at $995 per month, which covers up to 25 devices, plus $15 per device per month beyond that. Onboarding is a one-time $1,500.
Bronze, Silver, Gold
- Bronze is the starting point: continuous monitoring and early-warning alerting for up to 25 devices, from $995 per month
- Silver covers up to 100 devices and adds priority alerting, historical reporting, and multi-location views
- Gold is unlimited devices, with 24x7 coverage under an SLA, a dedicated NOC contact, and custom dashboards
From your sites to fixed-before-it-broke
Who it is for
- Multi-location businesses that want every site on one pane instead of a site-by-site scramble
- Businesses whose revenue stops when the network stops
- Teams without a dedicated network engineer who still need someone watching
- Organizations planning growth that need real capacity data before they commit
What you can expect
Honest scoping first. We start with a device count and a map of your sites, then quote from the public price list. If a smaller tier fits, we say so.
The R&D is already done. The monthly fee buys monitoring that already works: the hardening, tuning, and integration on proven monitoring tooling happened before you signed, not on your dime during month one.
Small fixes, not big outages. The routine is quiet on purpose. Trends flag the gear that is drifting, alerts catch the rest early, and problems get fixed while they are still small.
Pairs with Managed SOC
The NOC watches health, the Managed SOC watches security. Run both and every site is covered for uptime and for threats.
Frequently asked questions
What is a managed NOC?
A managed NOC, short for network operations center, is a service that continuously monitors the devices and links your business runs on: uptime, performance, and capacity. Lightweight collector agents at your sites feed our hosted monitoring stack, which tracks trends and alerts early, so problems get fixed before they become outages.
What is the difference between a NOC and a SOC?
A NOC watches network health: is everything up, performing, and headed in the right direction. A SOC watches security: is anyone doing something on your network they should not be. They answer different questions and many businesses run both. See our Managed SOC service for the security side.
What does it cost?
Managed NOC starts at $995 per month, which covers up to 25 devices, plus $15 per device per month beyond that, with a one-time $1,500 onboarding. Silver covers up to 100 devices and adds priority alerting, historical reporting, and multi-location views. Gold is unlimited devices with 24x7 coverage under an SLA, a dedicated NOC contact, and custom dashboards.
What kinds of devices do you monitor?
The devices and links your business runs on: switches, firewalls, access points, servers, and the connections between your sites. Lightweight collector agents at your locations discover them and report into our hosted monitoring stack, so coverage grows as your network does.
Do you fix problems or just report them?
The service is built so most problems never need an emergency fix. Early-warning alerting and capacity trends surface issues while they are small, so the fix or replacement happens on a schedule you control instead of in a crisis. Gold adds 24x7 response under an SLA and a dedicated NOC contact for the cases that cannot wait.
