As corporate networks continue to grow in size and complexity, to what extent do IS
professionals protect and manage their investments?
Surprisingly, administrators of
many large networks risk daily exposure to catastrophe.
With the advent and standardization of SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol),
network professionals can better understand and control their day-to-day network
operations.
This helps them identify and correct potential problems before they occur.
Network management has experienced explosive growth over the last several years and is
becoming a fundamental part of the network infrastructure as IS professionals recognize
its benefits.
