Build the Perfect NOC For Your Network

Your Network Operations Center (NOC) is the heart of your network operations. If your NOC doesn't have the right equipment, you can't even begin to do your job well. You need the most advanced monitoring equipment to provide you with detailed alarm notifications. You also need a custom monitoring system that was designed to meet your unique needs.

For maximum visibility of your network, your NOC personnel must have access to all of the following capabilities:

• Power failure monitoring
• Environmental monitoring
• Root cause analysis
• Problem notifications for your key personnel
• Escalating notifications that are forwarded to supervisors after user-defined time limits

The only way to obtain these capabilities in your NOC is to deploy an advanced alarm monitoring system. These systems will provide you with important alarm notifications, while also tracking alarm histories to help you tackle the source of frequently occurring problems.

Why do I need alarm monitoring in my NOC?
Alarm monitoring is an integral component of your NOC. Without it, you won't know about problems in your network until it's too late, and by that time your customers have already lost service (and a good deal of patience with your service levels).

A good alarm monitoring system provides operators in your NOC with all of the important information they need about problems throughout your network. NOC supervisors will be able to look at this alarm information in a variety of ways, enabling them to most effectively dispatch technicians to your various remote sites.

What are the components of my NOC's alarm monitoring system?
To deploy the most effective alarm monitoring system for your NOC, you need advanced remote telemetry units (RTU's), as well as a modern alarm master. The most advanced equipment will provide you will the best alarm collection and reporting.

The RTU's job is to handle the alarm collection portion of your network monitoring. These remotes can monitor a number of devices at a remote site. After collecting an alarm, these remotes will then report the data to the alarm master in your NOC, providing your operators with important details about the problem. This alarm will be displayed within your NOC, as well as in emails or pages to your appropriate network technicians.

Your alarm master is the core of your NOC. It aggregates alarms from remotes and equipment across the network, notifying NOC personnel and field technicians of all problems that arise. NOC operators can specify how the alarm master displays this information, customizing their system to make their Network Operations Center as efficient as possible.
