I checked the Conexim site and for some reason all 3 pictures they have posted on their sites are UUNET NOCs
which is now Verizon Business.

So far this is the only picture of the Verizon NOC I found out there. The picture is very small but you can see that its the same noc you have up on your site as Conexim.

Here is Telstra (Australia) Global Operations Centre. It monitors Australia’s largest Telecommunications network.

These photos are old, I don’t have dates, but they are probably from around 2002.

All CRTs have now been replaced with LCDs and the Video Wall has been updated.

The impressive centrepiece of the
Global Operations Centre is the massive
digital video wall – one of the largest in
the Southern Hemisphere. Measuring
24 metres x 3 metres, the video wall
comprises 96 video cubes and enables
staff to manage the operation of Telstra’s
fixed and mobile telecommunications
networks, high speed internet options,
broadcast television, products and
services.

The Global Operations Centre officially opened in August 1999 and provides a centrepiece for showcasing Telstra’s technological leadership and capabilities in managing large scale networks. Copper, fibre-optic cable, radio and satellite technologies connect our customers to our local access switches.

* Approximately $35 million to construct over 15 months

* Approximately 190 people involved in the construction

* Telstra employed 63 suppliers – many of them local

* 3,750 litres of paint was used over 8,000 square metres

* Electrical systems are built around high reliability and maintenance can be performed without interrupting the Centre’s normal operations

* 2,935 plants have been planted in and around the Centre

* The stunning centrepiece for the Global Operations Centre is the massive digital videowall – one of the world’s largest. The videowall measures 24 x 3 metres and comprises 96 video cubes.

* There are approximately 400 staff who work in the large surveillance hall, who monitor and manage Telstra’s networks 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

According to digi.no(a norwegian e-newspaper), the NOC has approx 100 seats, and a surface of 1250 square meters.

The NOC gets 5 million error messages every week, and uses IBM Micromuse to manage them. The three main screens are 10x6m large.

The article(in norwegian), and more pictures can be found here:

We definitely didn’t know that. Do you have another source (preferably a link) which can confirm this? We found the picture on the Conexim website (the link is available at the bottom of the post).

The picture labeled Conexim’s NOC in Australia. That is not correct. That is the Network Operations Center of UUNET/MCI WorldCOM which is now Verizon Business. I know cause I work there.

They do have a *real* NOC, trust me.
