Rather brief article, with linlks, on how to build a Network Operations Center for some $2,000 [the major cost being monitors and a medium-grade workstation, plus the cost of any Windows NOS being used]. There is a lot more to doing this than meets the eye, but it is worth investigating this, because such a NOC lab could be an excellent teaching tool.
As I have mentioned elsewhere, network management tends to lack applied focus in many educational venues. A proposal like this would go far to remedy such a lack, and would give all involved absorbing hands-on experience. This could be further extended with, for example, Cisco network management solutions, if costs could be negotiated for educational purposes.
