Enhancing Network Stability with Network Monitoring Systems

Slide Note

Network monitoring is crucial for efficient management and proactive issue detection in a network environment. Factors influencing an effective network system include choosing the best OEM, SLA agreements, and selecting a reliable System Integrator. Reactive monitoring can lead to financial losses and decreased productivity, highlighting the importance of proactive monitoring tools like NMS. The Iceberg Principle illustrates how hidden network issues can impact productivity and efficiency. Opting for NMS ensures continuity of security systems and facilitates advance planning for network maintenance and optimization.

Network Monitoring System

OVERVIEW Network monitoring is a part of network management. There is Vendor-agnostic way to monitor parameters like device Availability, CPU process, memory utilization, bandwidth Utilization, Rx, Tx etc. directly as well as through user-created VLANs. The bottleneck at the initial stage. Network administrator is kept updated through E-mail, SMS or other alarm systems. Effective proactive monitoring prevents network downtime or failures. system proactively finds performance issues and Critical devices like switches, routers and servers performs key tasks. Hence, requires constant parameters. NMS acts as infrastructure. monitoring nerve for specific entire center for

Factors Deciding an Effective Network System OEM: Finalizing the best OEM for the equipment associated with network system. ensures longevity of the equipment resistance to daily tear and wear. SLA: agreement providing up time of 95% equipment and control room. Service level for 99% for end Best OEM and System Integrator: Selecting a SI with a proven mettle in the field of network system. Choosing foremost assures uninterrupted operation. Contract Finalization: Signing of contract with handpicked SI for SOW, warranty and AMC support. SI

Are these factors enough to ensure a robust system? Grey areas are analogous to tip of the iceberg. Looks harmless from a distance but pose great challenge in Hence, it becomes imperative to have a monitoring system like NMS to address the grey areas. the long run. centralized BEST SI TOP OEM Or are there any grey areas?

Iceberg Principle Surface Bulk of the problem is not visible at plain sight and hidden beneath the surface Low productivity: Absence of a central watchdog, results in unexpected failure or fault of device decreased productivity. Low Optimization of existing resources is essential for achieving desired goal. With lower optimization takes a backseat. Resource Optimization: resulting in device uptime Financial network failure, device fault etc. can seriously affect the livelihood of a business. Reactive monitoring results in a loss of thousands if not millions of dollars in revenue and productivity. Strain: Irregularities, Low productivity or up time leads to undesired output level. Lower output level causes efficiency of a device drastically. Efficiency: Lower to plummet Deepness

Reasons for Opting NMS Ensure Continuity of Security System: Massive amount is spent on security and surveillance system. However, the whole purpose is defeated if the system witness frequent blackout. continuity of operation by detecting and resolving the fault. Passive monitoring, if a failure or regularity is detected, user is immediately informed via messages. In absence of passive monitoring , user will have to look himself for faults. Advance Planning: change is made easy with NMS. If a device or hardware is continuously witnessing fault, it is time for the device to be changed. Hence, advance planning can be made. Monitoring: With passive NMS ensures Planning for Justify Equipment Grade: Making a change based on intuition may not be feasible in the long run. However, based on report history, decision to upgrade or change makes a better sense. Remedy notifications provides enough back up time for resolution, In absence of a central monitoring time loss could result in a mishap or disaster. for Disaster: Immediate Gain considerably troubleshooting time. This results in personnel and resources focusing on core areas of business. With increased productivity comes the profit and hefty return on investment. immediate ROI: NMS reduces tedious Increased monitoring maximizes network availability by taking corrective actions in case of outages and fault occurrence. Uptime: Continuous Bridging the Feature gaps: Networks are getting complex passing day. To integration between components, it is imperative to have a system which is woven deep within the fabric of the network itself. NMS takes care of all this. with each tight the ensure Maximizes Business Savings: NMS provides faster resolution alerts eliminating the need for manual checkups. Having a NMS avoids the need for a complex and expensive systems. This results in cost savings building. with instant and revenue

Aspects Of NMS Discovery: NMS does automatic scanning of all devices via multiple There is a library of monitoring templates that defines the way to monitor a device. Visualization is generated of the physical and virtual network connectivity. Monitoring: 360 monitoring of network infrastructure is done through a single dashboard. Network admin can modify device role or create new ones from the scratch. Monitoring sending watchdog messages to host over the network for verification the network protocols. is performed by Notifications: new device on the network, IP change for MAC address, device change for IP, new device on IP, new connection on IP and change in MAC&IP can be seen under notification icon. USER can add, ignore or resolve the new device on the network. Latest notifications like MAP:NMS coded network maps which is a powerful tool that enables the user to visualize the network. A clean and orderly layout ofthe wiring closet is represented. generates a color- Alerts: Notifications are sent to admin and concerned user via e- mail, text and logging. Threshold limit is set for systems in order to alert the user or admin. Investigation proactively so that user or admin can take corrective actions before the device fails altogether. Alerts are generally sent after polling of network devices for its respective status are performed. Reports: It provides immediate detail of down device. The report of down device can be viewed on different duration ranging from 1 hour to 7 days. Report can be generated in file formats like CSV, Details of the down name, IP address and parent switch connection are also available. triggering alarm is done excel and pdf. devices like
