1.1
introduction
Your network is central to your business. As such, for your business to remain
healthy, you need to effectively manage and maintain your digital networks. But
what is network management, and what does it encompass? And perhaps most
importantly, how can you put it to work for your business?
Your business is much more than just a machine that dispenses products or
services in exchange for money. It’s akin to a living and breathing thing. Just as
with the human body, in a business all the parts are interconnected and work
together to move things forward.
If a company’s management is the brain, then its employees are the muscles.
Muscles don’t work without the oxygen carried to them by the blood. Blood
doesn’t pump through the body without the heart and circulatory system.
Data moves through your network like blood through veins, delivering vital
information to employees who need it to do their jobs. In a business sense,
the digital network is the heart and circulatory system. Without a properly
functioning network, the entire business collapses. That’s why keeping
networks healthy is vitally important. Just as keeping the heart healthy is critical
to living a healthy life, a healthy network is key to a thriving business. It starts
with IT network management. [1]
1.2 Network Management?
Network management refers to the processes, tools and applications used to
administer, operate and maintain a network infrastructure. Performance
management and fault analysis are also included in network management. To
put it simply, network management is the process of keeping your network
healthy, which keeps your business healthy.
1.2 Components of Network Management?
The definition of network management is often broad, as network management
involves several different components. Here are some of the terms you’ll often
hear when network management or network management software is talked
about:

Network administration

Network maintenance

Network operation

Network provisioning

Network security
1.3 Network Management so Important When It Comes to Network
Infrastructure?
The whole point of IT network management is to keep the network
infrastructure and network management system running smoothly and
efficiently. Network management helps you:

Avoid costly network disruptions

Improve IT productivity

Improve network security

Gain a holistic view of network performance
1.4 Avoid Costly Network Disruptions
Network downtime can be very costly. In fact, industry research shows the cost
can be up to $5,600 per minute or more than $300K per hour. Network
disruptions take more than just a financial toll; they also have a negative impact
on customer relationships. Slow and unresponsive corporate networks make it
harder for employees to effectively address customer needs and concerns. And
customers who feel this lack of service could be quick to leave.
Improve IT Productivity
By monitoring and learning every aspect of the network management service,
an effective network management system does many jobs at once. IT network
management frees up IT staff to focus on other things.
Improve Network Security
With a focus on network management, it’s easy to identify and respond to
threats before they propagate and impact end users. Network management also
aims to ensure regulatory and compliance requirements are met. Improved
network security also leads to greater network privacy, giving the user more
freedom when using their device.
Gain a Holistic View of Network Performance
Network management gives you a complete view of how your network is
performing. It enables you to identify issues and fix them quickly.
1.5 Challenges of Maintaining Effective Network Management and
Network Infrastructure?
Network infrastructures can be complex. Because of that complexity,
maintaining effective network management is difficult. Advances in technology
and the cloud have increased user expectations for faster network speeds and
network availability. On top of that, security threats are becoming ever more
advanced, varied and numerous. And if you have a large network, it
incorporates several devices, systems and tools that all need to work together
seamlessly. As your network scales and your company grows, new potential
points of failure are introduced. Increased costs also come into play.
In short, the list of challenges surrounding network management is a long one.
Fortunately, there are solutions. Look no further than network management
software.
