NOC is abbreviated as Network Operations Center which is primarily used to monitor the network i.e. this network can be of a small grade or can be of a large scale. Its is basically used to monitor tyhe nodes that has been installed in the network and if any fault occur then to isolate and rectify the faults of the nodes in the minimum amount of time to make sure that the network will not be affected for long time from the fault. Monitoring of traffic which is data traffic (IP based) voice traffic.
Large Telecommunication companies that have nationwide or worldwide or even citywide network deployed these NOC to soomthly run their services which they provided to the user.
For the sake of ease large geographical areas are divided among several NOC's to simplify the monitoring and operations and to also provide redundancy in the event of any failure. Various alarms occur that describe the type of fault being originate within the NOC, these alarms have descriptions that help NOC engineer to understand that what type of fault occur n where it occurs. A summary of log is generated and stored evrey time the fault occur and when it rectify.
NOC of various Mobile communication, sateelite COmmunication and Broadband service providers and Private companies are example of it.

A network operations center (or NOC, pronounced "knock") is one or more locations from which control is exercised over a computer, television broadcast, or telecommunications network.

Large organizations may operate more than one NOC, either to manage different networks or to provide geographic redundancy in the event of one site being unavailable or offline.

NOCs are responsible for monitoring the network for alarms or certain conditions that may require special attention to avoid impact on the networks performance. For example, in a telecommunications environment, NOCs are responsible for monitoring for power failures, communication line alarms (such as bit errors, framing errors, line coding errors, and circuits down) and other performance issues that may affect the network. NOCs analyze problems, perform troubleshooting, communicate with site technicians and other NOCs, and track problems through resolution. If necessary, NOCs escalate problems to the appropriate personnel. For severe conditions that are impossible to anticipate – such as a power failure or optical fiber cable cut – NOCs have procedures in place to immediately contact technicians to remedy the problem.

NOCs often escalate issues in a hierarchic manner, so if an issue is not resolved in a specific time frame, the next level is informed to speed up problem remediation. Many NOCs have multiple "tiers", which define how experienced/skilled a NOC technician is. A newly-hired NOC technician might be considered a "tier 1", whereas a technician that has been there for several years may be considered a "tier 3" or "tier 4". As such, some problems are escalated within a NOC before a site technician or other network engineer is contacted.

The term NOC is normally used when referring to telecommunications providers, although a growing number of other organizations such as public utilities (e.g., SCADA) and private companies also have such centers, both to manage their internal networks and to provide monitoring services.

The location housing a NOC may also contain many or all of the primary servers and other equipment essential to running the network, although it is not uncommon for a single NOC to monitor and control a number of geographically dispersed sites.

NOC in fact stands for Network Operations Center.
It is that place on which almost all the physical Servers ,technical support and major administration is available.
It is usually a main office or the data center on which every time monitoring is continuing without any disruption.

A Network Operations Center (NOC) and it's uses varies from provider to provider, but most provide a number of services to both customers and non-customers alike.

Most NOCs are the front line for customer support, for a wide range of issues, including emergency support for folks encountering Denial of Service attacks, loss of connectivity, and security issues.
