The Changing Face of Network Management

Tags:
network administration

Overview Managing the network is serious business. It is absolutely essential that it is up and running since the critical business services depend on it - and so does the revenue stream. At the same time, the network continues to grow in size and complexity, with the addition of more devices and new technologies, in response to business growth and demands. Preventing network downtime and performance degradation is every IT manager's goal. Causes are not always preventable - major power outages and other external events occur - but a considerable amount of disruption can be prevented. Industry analysts agree that erroneous network configuration changes, manually entered, cause a significant portion of network downtime and performance degradation.
