Network Operation Center (NOC): Monitoring Meets ITSM!

Managing IT operations today is more challenging than ever. Systems are distributed, workloads are multi-layered, and user expectations demand 24/7 uninterrupted service. In this environment, the role of Network Operations Center (NOC) teams is shifting from merely “monitoring” to a mandate for swift action, proactive risk identification, and aligning operations with business goals.

This is the reality for today’s NOC teams: alert chaos, hidden risks, and manual workload.

Therefore, modern enterprises are moving beyond the classic “monitor alert” approach. They are adopting a more holistic, automation-centric operational model powered by the convergence of Monitoring and ITSM.

In this blog post, we will:

  • Discuss the NOC (Network Operations Center) concept within its current scope.

  • Explain why the traditional NOC approach is becoming inadequate.

  • Detail how ODYA Automated NOC and SPIDYA ITSM together deliver an intelligent, proactive, single-pane-of-glass operation.

What is Network Operations Center (NOC)?

The Network Operation Center is the heart of the enterprise IT infrastructure. Its responsibilities can be listed as follows:

  • Monitoring the infrastructure

  • Detecting performance deviations

  • Evaluating alerts

  • Initiating incident processes

The Evolving Responsibilities of Modern Network Operation Center

Today, Network Operation Center teams do more than just monitoring; they predict risks, take automated action, and align operations with continuous service goals.

This shift is driven by:

  • Distributed architectures

  • Multi-layered application structures

  • Increasing user expectations

  • Constantly growing operational volume

Modern NOCs now undertake roles such as:

  • Anomaly detection

  • Event prediction

  • Automated action (self-healing)

  • Service management integrated with ITSM processes

The Biggest Problem of Traditional NOC Operations: Siloed Structure

In many organizations today, Network Operation Center operations still proceed as follows:

  • Monitoring tools generate alerts independently.

  • ITSM processes are managed on a separate platform.

  • Field teams receive notifications via email, message, or different systems.

  • CMDB relationships are maintained elsewhere.

What Does the Silo Problem Imply?

This fragmentation leads to the following outcomes:

  • Manual alert-to-ticket process

  • Missing critical alerts

  • Late detection of SLA violations

  • Prolonged Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

  • Communication breakdown between teams

  • Operational blindness

The step that truly advances operations comes into play here: This siloed structure is eliminated when the Monitoring layer and the ITSM layer are unified.

ODYA Automated NOC: The Foundation of Modern Network Operation Center Transformation

ODYA Automated NOC is an advanced Network Operation Center solution that delivers the 24/7 monitoring, correlation, automation, and rapid response capability modern enterprises need, all within a single platform.

Capabilities of ODYA Automated NOC

  • Real-time monitoring

  • Alarm correlation and prioritization

  • Automated incident creation

  • Relationship mapping with CMDB

  • AI-powered anomaly & root cause analysis

  • Self-healing scenarios

  • Integrated dashboard for NOC operators

This foundation allows organizations not just faster response, but the ability to establish a predictive and automation-driven Network Operation Center structure.

Why ITSM + Monitoring Integration is a Game Changer

Monitoring alone answers the question, “What is happening?”

ITSM, however, answers, “How will we manage this?”

The convergence of these two layers completely moves organizations away from a reactive structure.

🔑 Key Benefits Provided by Integration

  1. Alarm Automatic Incident (Automatic Ticket Creation) An alert generated in ODYA Automated NOC automatically converts into an incident within SPIDYA ITSM. Manual processing is eliminated.

  2. Correct Assignment & Accurate SLA The incident is automatically assigned to the relevant team or technician. SLA counters start instantly.

  3. Single-Pane-of-Glass Operation NOC alerts, ITSM processes, CMDB relationships, and action logs are visible on a single screen.

  4. Proactive Problem Management Monitoring trends, behavior patterns, and historical alert data directly feed the problem management processes.

  5. Self-Healing & Automation Automated actions are triggered for specific alert types:

    • Service restart

    • Capacity increase

    • Cache flush

    • Automated traffic routing


The Result? Fewer outages, higher automation, and lower MTTR (Mean Time to Resolve).

Where Does SPIDYA ITSM Stand in This Structure?

SPIDYA ITSM forms the service management backbone of this convergence.

Processes Where Monitoring Data Converges with SPIDYA ITSM

  • Incident Management

  • Problem Management

  • Change Management

  • SLA & KPI Tracking

  • CMDB relationships

  • Team-based task management

  • Asset & configuration visibility

SPIDYA makes the entire process, from the moment an alert is generated to its closure, measurable, traceable, transparent, and manageable.

Sectoral Benefits of Monitoring + ITSM Integration

The trio of Monitoring + ITSM + Automation provides a critical transformation that directly impacts not only IT teams but also operational continuity, service quality, and customer satisfaction across various sectors.

Although every sector has different dynamics, the need is the same: uninterrupted service, rapid response, visibility, and operational efficiency.

Below, we have summarized how integration creates value in a few key sectors:

1. 🏦 Finance & Banking Sector

Finance is one of the sectors with the least tolerance for downtime. Every second of outage in card, payment, ATM, or internet banking systems can lead to serious losses.

Benefits:

  • Automatic detection of events and instant creation of an ITSM incident

  • Minimizing SLA violations

  • Accelerated anomaly detection in fraud/suspicious transaction systems

  • Automated recovery via self-healing in ATM networks

  • Reduced recurrence of outages due to faster Root Cause Analysis

Result: Safer, faster, and operationally excellent service that the customer does not notice.

2. 🛍️ E-Commerce & Retail

Outages in traffic fluctuations, payment services, inventory management, and logistics systems directly translate into revenue loss.

Benefits:

  • Automated scaling or self-healing during high-traffic periods

  • Instant visibility into payment errors

  • End-to-end monitoring of warehouse-inventory-POS systems

  • Automated incident mechanism that reduces delays in order management processes

  • A Network Operation Center + ITSM structure that provides a “single-pane-of-glass” view of the entire operation

Result: Smoother payment processes, loss-free campaign periods, and near 100% service continuity.

3. 📡 Telecommunications

Telecom companies serve vast networks, hundreds of thousands of components, and millions of users. Manual intervention is impossible here.

Benefits:

  • Automated detection of network failures

  • Region-based alarm correlation

  • Automatic assignment of tasks to field services teams

  • Instant visibility into which network component affects what, thanks to CMDB integration

  • Automatic prevention of service outage through self-healing
