Case Study: HCL Comnet’s NOC
A case for NOC
Any company that has scaled up its presence to new locations, increased manpower, and introduced new enterprise applications, will very likely, see that its IT Head has developed a new set of worries. He has to design the extended network, decide on the hardware to buy, chose the appropriate connectivity options, deploy adequate backup and disaster recovery resources, and recruit qualified technical staff for the jobs. To make matters worse, all this has to be done within a limited budget. Sometimes a company may want to implement a new feature in its network like robust security architecture, carry out network health and performance analysis, and set up a storage infrastructure. But, the amount of technical and financial resources required to carry out any of these functions may be a large inhibiting factor. In such cases the company can turn to an external NOC (Network Operations Center) which has the necessary facilities, equipment, processes and procedures, applications, and qualified staff to relieve the company of any excess network-related and financial burdens. The company does not have to invest in a full-fledged NOC infrastructure of its own, and dedicate any extra technical and human resources. HCL Comnet has built such a NOC in Noida which it calls an iNOC (Intelligent NOC). It went live in April 2002 and already manages infrastructure for 56-odd clients. The clients are present in 400-odd cities nationwide and there are a total 5,200 nodes to manage. Let's look at the features of the iNOC to get an idea of what an NOC is like from close and the ways in which it can help your enterprise's network.
Questions :
1. If you are scaling up your business to new locations what problems you think you are going to face? Describe these problems and give their solution as IT head of the company.
2. What do you mean by NOC and how it is different from iNOC?
3. How as IT head of the company how you can implement robust security and good health of network keeping budget constraints in your mind?

CASE STUDY
The Indian Internet Banking Journey
In 2001, a Reserve Bank of India survey revealed that of 46 major banks operating in India, around 50% were either offering Internet banking services at various levels or planned to in the near future. According to a research report1 while in 2001, India's Internet user base was an estimated 9 lakh; it was expected to reach 90 lakh by 2003. Also, while only 1% of these Internet users utilized the Internet banking services in 1998, the Internet banking user base increased to 16.7% by mid- 2000. Many of the major banks like ICICI, HDFC, IndusInd, IDBI, Citibank, Global Trust Bank (GTB), Bank of Punjab and UTI were offering Internet banking services. Based on the above statistics and the analysts' comments that India had a high growth potential for Internet banking, the players focused on increasing and improving their Internet banking services. As a part of this, the banks began to collaborate with various utility companies to enable the customers to perform various functions online. ICICI's 'Infinity,' which was already a leader in the Indian Internet banking arena, began to allow its customers to pay their online real time shopping bills. HDFC, through its 'payment gateway' feature, allowed its Internet banking customers to make online and real time payments for their purchases. HDFC also entered into tie-ups with various portals to provide these business-to-customer (B2C) e-commerce transactions. Centurion bank acquired an equity stake in the teauction.com portal to bring together buyers, sellers, suppliers, registered brokers and associations in the tea market and eliminate the need for their physical presence at various auctions. As more banks entered Internet banking arena, the competition between the banks also increased. This compelled the banks to focus on capturing new markets and customers and adopting advanced technology on the Internet. In the light of these developments, industry watchers remarked that Internet banking had arrived in a big way. Though it had a long way to go compared to the global standards, it was beginning to be seen as a replacement for the traditional banking set up in the future.
Questions:
1. Can Internet banking replace traditional banking in India? Justify your answer with relevant data?
2. What are the security concerns with reference to internet banking? Explain in details.
