NOC Service Pricing

Managed NOC services with published prices — an outsourced network operations center run by one senior engineer.
No tiers, no ticket queues, no surprises. You pay for real expertise, not a call center that reads scripts.

Outsourced NOC Services — Monthly Retainer Plans

Three ways to buy NOC as a service: monitoring only, monitoring plus maintenance, or full-spectrum coverage with emergency response. Every plan is a monthly retainer with the price on this page — what you see is what you are invoiced. New to outsourcing this? Start with the guide to outsourced NOC monitoring.

Intel Brief

Common questions.

How much does a NOC cost?
Outsourced, between $299 and $1,499 per month for most small and mid-sized estates — the three plans above, priced by scope rather than by seat. Built in-house, the same coverage means salaries for a rotation that can staff nights and weekends. The arithmetic is worked through in in-house vs outsourced NOC cost.
What is included in NOC as a service?
Continuous monitoring of servers, network devices and cloud infrastructure; triage of every alert by a human before it reaches you; escalation; and, from NOC Active upward, the maintenance that keeps the estate healthy — patching, updates and configuration reviews.
Why no free tier?
Because my time has value. I'm a senior engineer, not a helpdesk. Every client I take on gets real attention — and that requires real commitment from both sides.
Are these prices negotiable?
For long-term contracts (12+ months) or multi-system engagements, yes. Contact me and we'll discuss scope.
What's the onboarding process?
30-minute technical call → infrastructure review → scope agreement → onboarding in 48h. No long sales cycles.
Do you work with MSPs?
Yes. I've worked as a white-label NOC for several MSPs. Rates and SLAs are customized for MSP engagements.
