Network Monitoring Solutions

In today's ubiquitously connected world, real-world usage of computing revolves around the concept of networking. With most organizations becoming virtually inseparable from their network infrastructures, thorough network management has become extremely important.

The network environment is one of the most complex aspects of IT infrastructure. Though applications and technologies make possible great leaps in performance and efficiency, the escalating dependence on them is also putting most organizations at much greater risks from outages, slowdowns or other unanticipated network failures.

The implementation of a comprehensive network monitoring strategy is the only way to assure required levels of uptime needed to support today's networked applications.

Four emerging trends that affect network management strategies today are:

Defining Network Monitoring

If company's network management policies and procedures are predefined they may need significant rewriting to realign the strategy with today's networking environment. Which is why, it is very important to thoroughly define your requirements up front- not only for your network management software, but for your network management policies and procedures.

Staff reductions in IT

Companies are reducing their numbers of employees. In IT, this means that there are fewer sites with dedicated resources for network management. Most organizations have chosen to address this quandary with network engineers who have a more generic understanding of the network, instead of niche specialists.

Convergence

Enterprises are preparing for or have already implemented voice/data/video convergence. The network management software must be capable of managing all of these converged communications.

On-demand computing

On-demand computing is a growing issue for both companies and service providers. One of the main questions for the enterprise are "How do I plan for extra capacity during the peak holiday sales season - and how do I know that I am not overpaying for the service?" With On-demand computing, both the enterprise and the service provider independently monitor their own networks - but each has end to end visibility of the other's network.
