Less than a buck an hour! If your IT staffing budget is running in the six figures plus range and stretched to the limit, imagine putting your network in the hands of our certified SMARTNOC experts from just $595 per month. That’s a low three figure number that spells a very high R-O-I. How much does it cost to perform network administration and security monitoring of a network with 105 devices (including 55 IP Telephones)?
