Analysis of enterprise network management software in Management network

The rapid development of network technology, the scale of the network has been expanding, so that more and more companies and organizations gradually began to experience a "growing pains." The network becomes the fundamental communication inside and outside the enterprise, in the continuous expansion of network scale and the continuous upgrade of network technology and equipment, it is often faced with the challenge of increasing the traffic growth and the need to deploy different types of network technology, even incompatible technology. In the day-to-day operation process, also often encounter network performance inexplicably decline problems such as the problem. How to manage the complex and tedious daily work of enterprise network has become the focus of enterprise management personnel. With the help of network management software, it is undoubtedly the only way to improve working efficiency and solve the coordination of work.

With the development of the network emerged

Enterprise network in the deployment of new applications, often requires dozens of, or even hundreds of technical personnel on each server and PC software distribution and installation, network day-to-day maintenance and management of the workload and difficulty can be imagined. These problems not only bring obstacles to the daily network management and operation, but also affect the strategic deployment and expansion of the enterprise network, and each new network technology needs the corresponding professional and technical personnel, for enterprises, is also unrealistic. In this case, the need for enterprise users to network automation management, and often referred to as network capacity planning of different types of systems environment and product technology integration requirements are increasing. In the increasingly large scale of the network, many enterprises have to pay a great deal of manpower and material resources to the network management. If the traditional manual decentralized management approach, found that a problem to solve a problem, not only the cost is high, and the cycle of processing fault is particularly long. As a result, network management software came into being, with the scale of small and medium sized enterprises expanding, this will bring huge demand for network management software.

With the increasing speed and perfection of network infrastructure construction, the development of management software has gone through three stages, such as simple equipment maintenance, network environment management and enterprise management. Driven by the progress of network technology and the growth of enterprise application, network management technology has become one of the basic management means of enterprise production and management, it will directly enhance the level of enterprise management, enhance the competitiveness of enterprises, and platform, intelligence, integration, high efficiency, high reliability and business-centric, will become the development trend of network management software.

Agreement developed more rationally

The network management system is mainly aimed at monitoring, configuration and fault diagnosis of networked equipment. The main functions are automatic topology discovery, remote configuration, performance parameter monitoring and fault diagnosis. At present, network management system to solve the problems are different, an enterprise is likely to buy a variety of network management systems, so that an enterprise intranet will also have more than one set of network management system coexistence, if there is no open interface, managers will have to manage different systems through different console. The future trend is gradually towards unification, under an open standard to achieve the unified management of all kinds of equipment. SNMP and Rmon are two standard network management protocols.

SNMP is a widely implemented network protocol that uses agent software embedded in network facilities to collect communication information and statistics about network devices. However, SNMP polling has an obvious weakness: it does not have scalability. In large networks, polling generates huge amounts of network management traffic, which results in traffic congestion. It adds the burden of  to the network management console. The IETF uses Rmon to address the limitations that SNMP faces in an increasingly distributed network. The purpose of RMON is to monitor remote devices more proactively.
