If a company dependent on network such as ebay, Google, Yahoo and many other drops even a few minutes, they can lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales and even a small piece of the confidence of their customers which may in turn have an impact on the value of their stock. When every second time network has the system must be monitored continuously. The most cost-effective way to do this is to use an automated network management tool.

Network management standards

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) addresses five major functional area of the model of network management such as performance management, management accounting, configuration management, fault management and security management.

Performance management

Performance management is monitoring, evaluation, and the setting of the available bandwidth and the use of network resources to make a network run more efficiently.

Security management processes to control access to resources and even to alert the appropriate authorities when certain resources are available. In the same way that a network manager can be paged or sent by e-mail when a resource down, network management systems allows to send messages when some files, servers, or routers is access. Intrusion detection systems, such as Intruder Alert Symantec have this ability of security management.

There are many products that support some or even all of these areas of network management.
