Modrac Network Operations Centre (NOC)

Managed services are set to increase significantly over the next five years and Modrac is the first Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to keep abreast of the ever increasing demand on racking systems and requirements of cooling high density servers being deployed in the ICT market.

Organisations of all sizes are today making more intelligent sourcing decisions enabling the procurement of discrete services to be part of an overall organisational sourcing strategy. Hence the evolution of the very first 24/7 Network Operations Centre (NOC) for Environmental Management of racking systems for manufacturer’s in South Africa.

The Network Operations Centre is responsible for monitoring the environment around racking systems deployed to house the network and reporting on alarms or certain conditions which may require special attention to avoid impact on the networks performance. (See EnviroRac® and IntelliRac options).

Conditions which can be monitored and reported on are:
