Book 2

Web-based technology is rapidly penetrating many business areas, including systems and network management. This new technology is based on the Internet, offering benefits in terms of unification and simplification of systems and network management.

Web-based Systems and Network Management is a practical guide to managing Web-based network systems. The first serious book on this subject - based on a three-day seminar developed by the author- demonstrates the use of Web technology , and shows how the various components of the Internet and Intranets must be economically and securely managed.

Web-based standardization is taking three main directions: Port 280, JavaAPI, and Wbem (Web-based Enterprise Management). These are discussed in depth and the opportunities and limitations of each are addressed. The book not only handles the basics but also gives guidance on their use to simplify systems and network management.

Book 7

To avoid serious bottlenecks, components of the Internet and of intranets-such as servers, browsers, and the access networks-must be properly designed, implemented, managed, and monitored. Beginning with the basics, Intranet Performance Management sets forth the standards, methods, and tools that can simplify and unify systems and network management, avoid the seemingly inherent problems associated with them, and contain costs.
In this book, world reknowned expert Kornel Terplan addresses:

  • Proactive server, browser, and access network monitoring
  • Managing and authoring home page content
  • Traffic management and load balancing in the access networks
  • Reviewing and evaluating usage statistics using log files
    These tasks-essential to the success of an intranet-require the active and diligent work of the management team. Effective performance of these tasks allows for the use of inexpensive browsers, facilitates education, and improves Internet culture and scalability.
