Then these people should have the title System Administrator (or something
similar). Just because they work in a "NOC" doesn't mean they have to have
NOC-anything in their title.
But for the type of NOC most people are describing- NOC-anything would be
fine- it really doesn't matter. Some of those NOC people (The ones that
want to learn) will move on to become SA's or NA's or whatever. Others
will not, or do not want to, learn anything and will never move out of the
NOC.
