The New Generation of Network Monitoring Systems

Overview Networks have become more complex, more interactive, significantly more costly and certainly more mission-critical. There is much more at stake than ever before for network managers, and almost everyone is experiencing an increased level of tension and uncertainty as new systems, applications, and services are deployed. Vendors proposing complex solutions are equally concerned that their solutions meet the needs of all their customers. The need to deliver analyses and monitor the functions of new technologies such as Frame Relay, ATM, Fast Ethernet, and the Internet has never been greater. There is also a need to justify deployment costs and to validate assumptions before systems become operational. Maintaining the value of all resources throughout the network's life cycle has also become an objective. This Technology Guide looks at the changing network environment in terms of today's greater need to provide precise, highly-accurate analysis and monitoring of both test-bed and operational network components and services. The deployment of fully functional, integrated network analysis and monitoring systems is shown to be the best solution for examining contemporary networks.
