Network Management Priorities: Reduce Costs, Increase Agility

THE BUSINESS

NETWORK OPERATIONS

Reduce cost of maintenance and

support

Maintain complianceand security

Manage network growth and complexity

Deliver new services100% service availability

Reduce costs

Large constantly changing environment

Ineffective management framework

Networkengineering

and operations

5

The Growing Gap Between Business Demands and IT’s Ability to Deliver

Last 10 years:Explosive growth in business applications and supporting infrastructure

Investment in IT management:Under-invested in ability to manage increasing service demands

Infrastructure explosion

• Increasing server numbers, storage devices and network devices/complexity

•Virtualization

IT mgmt. under-invested

• Limited budget growth; labor cost outweighs infra. cost

•Silo’d organizations

•Manual processes; point tools

New network demand

•New applications and upgrades

•New architectures (SOA)

•Rich media applications

6

What’s needed is an intelligent and integrated approach to managing networks

Legacy Approaches Aren’t Enough

Managing networks today Missing automation, ineffective point tools, lack of integrations, silo’d, manual

→ errors, disruption and cost

Existing disparate network management products stop short of providing a solution

Proactive networkfault and performance

management with integrated remediation

A transformation of network management from costly, manual methods to a fully

automated approach
