Challenges of Implementing Network Management Solution

Abstract

A network administrator’s efficiency to manage a network decreases as the network becomes more complex and heterogeneous. Managing large, heterogeneous networks created a crisis for many organizations. The network management tools and solutions available are not only expensive but also difficult to install, configure, administer, and maintain. This paper discusses the tools and solutions available for network management, challenges involved in implementing network management solutions and also a simple solution for a pro-active network management solution is proposed. This solution was tested by implementing in a large enterprise. With the implementation, the stakeholders were able to achieve higher efficiency and able to do proactive network management.
