Network management is more critical than ever.
In 2025, 85% of infrastructure strategies will integrate on-premises, colocation, cloud, and edge delivery options, compared to 20% in 2020, according to a recent study by Gartner. This significant shift demands a more flexible and scalable approach to network operations.
The Network Operations Center (NOC)-as-a-Service model stands at the forefront of this rapid shift.
Low Risk, High-Performance Option
NOC-as-a-service models offer businesses key advantages by outperforming traditional approaches, minimizing risks, and maximizing network uptime and reliability.
- Cost Effectiveness
NOC-as-a-service enhances cost-effectiveness by eliminating the need for hefty, upfront investments in infrastructure and personnel. Managed services convert capital expenditures to operational ones, providing greater financial flexibility.
- Enhanced Performance
Leveraging state-of-the-art tools and processes for optimal network performance, managed services help organizations experience significantly fewer outages.
- Faster Issue Resolution
Organizations using Network Operations Center (NOC) services experience a significant reduction in mean time to repair (MTTR) for network issues compared to those managing networks entirely in-house. Utilizing advanced diagnostics and round-the-clock surveillance by skilled professionals, the model ensures that potential problems are responded to immediately.
- Scalability
As companies grow, NOC-as-a-service adapts to changing business requirements, eliminating the need for additional infrastructure investments.
- Risk Mitigation
By proactively identifying and addressing potential risks, managed services help ensure the safety and integrity of any company’s network and data.
The 2023 ISC2 Cybersecurity Workforce Study found that 67% of surveyed organizations reported a cybersecurity staff shortage, highlighting the benefit of NOC-as-a-Service in providing expert security monitoring.
- Focus on Core Business
By outsourcing tasks such as network monitoring, maintenance, and troubleshooting to external experts, internal IT resources can focus on strategic initiatives.
