Evaluating whether to run a network operations center (NOC) in-house or outsource it.

Answer the following question

1. Which type of organization should keep a NOC in-house? Why?

2. Which type of organization could safely and efficiently outsource a NOC? Why?

 Requirements:

Although many enterprise NOCs are run in-house, a growing trend is to outsource the operation. Instead of building a NOC within an organization, some enterprises are hiring companies that specialize in network management. These organizations set up their own NOC, often at remote locations, to manage the customer’s network. The customer avoids having to maintain network expertise. The organization provides the service for a fee.
