London Network Operations Centre (NOC)
A Network Operations Centre (NOC) is a place where an operator of a computer, datacomms or telecomms network controls and monitors the networks or systems. Full-time staff at a London NOC might analyse computer or communications problems and perform troubleshooting.
A NOC may schedule travelling site technicians or attend to unexpected emergencies, such as a fibre break or a power outage at a remote site. London NOC’s are sometimes operated only during working hours, but often need to work 24/7, as faults and problems can occur anywhere and at any time.
Finding a technically sophisticated and well connected location for a 24/7 NOC is not easy. Few London data centres will allow NOC staff to work permanently in their facility.
Locating a NOC in a London data centre
City Lifeline’s colocation data centre is an ideal place to locate a Network Operations Centre (NOC) because of:

- its world class carrier neutral internet and telecoms connections
- its flexible 24/7 data centre access policies
- the high levels of security in its London data centre environment
- City Lifeline’s ability and willingness to create and construct custom designed private suites specifically for your NOC
