Have you ever been woken up in the middle of the night by your monitoring system? Did you have too many tools, and too many false positive/nuisance alarms? Are you too busy with putting out fires, instead of focusing on growing your business? Are you tasked with increasing uptime and support, without increasing your headcount?

NOC 1Whether you’re a small business with a handful of critical devices, or have an IT footprint as complex as your global enterprise, someone has to monitor the IT systems that power your business. Digital Edge’s NOC support will meet the most demanding needs of your technology environment and operational workflow. We will be there before you know that something even happened, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Philosophy

Digital Edge specializes in monitoring and support automation. We deploy our own solution or integrate with clients’ third-party monitoring tools to deliver the best in class NOC services. Once the platform is in place, our highly experienced, US-based network engineers monitor your networks, servers, websites, applications and other core IT infrastructure 24/7 to help you deliver 99.999% uptime for your business. When an alert occurs, we take immediate action. A trouble-ticket is generated automatically and our live engineers analyze the situation filtering out false positive alerts, comparing with escalation procedures which could be an email, SMS messages or a phone calls made to your staff, carriers, vendors or third parties. We also can perform Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) defined by you to remediate a standard situation – things like opening carrier tickets, killing & restarting applications, executing scripts, resetting interfaces, rebooting hosts or escalating to our Second Level support.

Let our free “Proof of Concept” Program show you how valuable Digital Edge can be in managing your entire IT platform, so you can focus on your projects, while we focus on your technology.

NOC 2Efficiency

It is not easy to organize real 24/7 coverage for your operation. Many companies carry duty pagers. That adds stress level to their staff. Shifts have to be organized and managed. Any sick day or a vacation schedule can create a situation where no one is attending to your infrastructure. “Sorry I slept and didn’t hear the call” – is not an excuse anymore. No need to operate a larger than necessary IT team with the added worries of insurance coverage, 401Ks, taxes, workers compensations, personal issues etc. With Digital Edge you are covered with a live support – 24/7 for a fraction of the price.

Digital Edge’s clients have access to an entire team of Subject Matter Experts with varied experiences, skillsets and exposure to multiple IT related issues. Because Digital Edge works with so many different technologies, we can add a tremendous amount of value to your IT department by supporting your systems. We also know how important it is to manage capital and operating expenses wisely. At Digital Edge, we will stay awake so you don’t have to. Our team monitors your network performance 24/7, and we won’t wake you up with false alarms. We will provide the necessary hardware, software, customization, automation, maintenance and monitoring under an affordable Software as a Service (SaaS) model. When a problem appears, we’ll take action – from alerting you to optional remediation.
