This guide highlights the three most critical success factors of network management, including its functions, instruments, and human resource skills, showing how to avoid errors and successfully manage communication networks. The guide describes how to use the connectivity and manageability components of a network to improve system efficiency, integrity, and security. It explores the performance impact of network components, offers a state-of-the-art review of propriety, de facto, and standard architectures, and illustrates three classes of network management tools, explaining how to choose among them and implement them for optimum data output. The book discusses the capabilities of communication software for extracting information from the network, explores the immediate, short-term, and long-term decisions for operational, tactical, and strategic network management, and focuses on six activity areas to help support the decision-making process of managers, analysts, operators, designers, and network management planners.
