What is Global Network Management?

Global Network Management is the processes, tools, hardware, software, and applications used to operate and maintain a network infrastructure at optimal performance.

The end goal is to make sure the network resources are made available to users and consumed as efficiently as possible.

It’s important to become familiar with the 5 different types of global network management. The International Organization for Standardization developed a framework standard for the management of networks. The ISO framework divides network management processes into 5 main functional areas below. Commonly referred to by the acronym FCAPS, each area relates to a high-level IT management process.

Fault management
Configuration management
Accounting management
Performance management
Security management

Modernizing the Network

From troubleshooting network issues, to identifying and managing security threats, to performance monitoring of network traffic and infrastructure, global network management is essential in today’s business climate and network downtime is something you can’t afford.

However, network system administrators may be following an outdated playbook. Most of today’s networks were designed and built long before today’s bring your own device (BYOD) trend of employees using personal devices to connect to an organization’s network and access work-related applications.

Also, hybrid Cloud computing wasn’t part of the picture a few years ago. Antiquated infrastructure that doesn’t support BYOD or hybrid Clouds creates new challenges regarding security, control, performance, monitoring, and configuration management.

It’s important for network administrators to rewrite the rules of a company’s network management systems to be relevant for today’s business demands. Management and monitoring have to become your top lines of defense against issues with performance or configuration and the information you get from network management solutions is the only thing you can truly count on.
