Correct. There are people who build NOC's for a living. You dont want to know all the details of generators, floors, AC, power loads, BTU's, heat exhaust, etc.. all of which has to be negotiated according to local county and state rules and regs, building owner regs -- its a massive undertaking to do it right, there are people who do soley this and are good at it.

Or you could bypass all that, fork over a little money and hire a consultant that has done it many times, to come in and tell ya exactly how to do everything. Then you will not have to learn the hard-way of trial and error. Since we are talking about a 75,000 node network, I don't think too many errors would be looked very highly upon...

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...
