3 The Need For Network Management I'm sitting at my desk trying to catch up on the usual 100 jobs that need doing when the phone rings.. "Hello, is that the help desk? My [fill in the name of your application] isn't working. What are you going to do about it? And so begins another frantic troubleshooting session to try to resolve a user's problem. Problem is, if it's a network problem it probably won t be a single user who will be calling the phone. And they won't necessarily be junior staff members either!

4 Network Management A solid computing architecture connected by a reliable network is a critical component of any modern successful business. It is vital to know that a problem exists before it impacts critical business applications. Proactive network management requires that all infrastructure components required to deliver services to users are monitored and performing at optimal levels.

5 Aspects of Network Management Fault Management Whats Up & Whats Down? Performance Management How is my Network Performing? Asset Management What devices are on my network? Capacity Management How do I plan for consistent, reliable network growth?
