Industry Standard Protocols White Papers

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

Overview Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a network management specification developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF),1 a subsidiary group of the Internet Activities Board (IAB),2 in the mid 1980s to provide standard, simplified, and extensible management of LAN-based internetworking products such as bridges, routers, and wiring concentrators [IETF 96, Henderson 95]. SNMP was designed to reduce the complexity of network management and minimize the amount of resources required to support it. SNMP provides for centralized, robust, interoperable network management, along with the flexibility to allow for the management of vendor-specific information.

How closely are you monitoring?

Plug an SNMP (simple network management protocol) or RMON (remote monitoring) agent into a node on the network to get an idea of what it's doing, or use network flow analysis to pick up information about what's being sent over the wire.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
