Cost efficiencies

Given the existing 24x7x365 IU and Abilene NOCs

Global NOC operational model is based on:

offering a template of services

assigning an area specialist for each network

cross training for all staff on all shifts

Both fixed and marginal costs to add a new networkare limited and quantifiable
