Exploring Aspects of Network Management Software

• Fault management: Alarm generation, event tracking and analysis
• Configuration management: Commissioning, provisioning, timing and protection
• Accounting management: Collection of data used in enforcement of Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
• Performance management: Monitoring and reporting service performance and Quality of Service (QoS) and SLA management
• Security management: Role-based logging-in, authorization and access control

Large enterprises, as well as small and medium sized companies need IT networks to process and store data. The data is vital for daily business operations, so it is important to protect network from damage caused by faults and system errors, to minimize downtime and to ensure that users and customers can access information rapidly. The NOCVue solution, working across multivendor platforms, provides real-time information about network operations and makes it easy for operators to identify and fix problems. Some features include:

• Uptime Monitoring: Network requires several reliable devices in order to work properly. The uptime monitoring software controls and monitors the availability of each single device and alerts the administrator when a system fails usually through email or SMS.
• Network Activity Monitor: It tracks bandwidth utilization using net flow and packet sniffing. It is vital for network administrator as it gives a complete overview of network and alerts if something needs to be done in downtimes.
• Usage Monitoring: It is important to identify the causes for bandwidth bottleneck that are not caused by faulty systems, but an excessive bandwidth usage by single servers or users. It analyses the traffic in network and provides with detailed information on usage and activity.

NOCVue network management software is critical for monitoring, securing, and optimizing today’s increasingly complex IT architectures. Some of the key benefits include:

• Optimizing network availability and performance: The software can randomly gather network data to provide a snapshot update to administrators.
• Efficient change management: It is useful to have the details of previous network configuration. The software enables to change management efficiently so users have a solid foundation for performance.
• Achieving agreements at service level and documentation of performance with reports: The benefit is a byproduct. With asset utilization at the optimum level, compliance and availability, organizations are in a good position to meet SLA standards.
