I think I'd disagree with that. Where would all you folks be if you never
picked up a book? You wouldn't be reading this list. Seriously, while
there's not an ORA "How to Build a NOC" book with some cute animal on the
cover, there is some information out there worth reading.
I'd suggest digging through some telco info (if you'd like to consider a
CO a NOC). Also, there should be plenty of people on this list that
work in or have even designed decent sized NOCs. You can also cheat and
go browsing as a prospective customer at someplace like Exodus or any
other colo facility that is well-managed and modern. You can actually
learn quite a bit by just looking around...
Hopefully some of the startup NSPs will answer here, as the experience
should still be fresh in their minds...
