Unified network management

A secure, healthy, and optimally functioning IT network serves as the backbone for any successful business. Managing modern-day network infrastructure is an increasingly complex task, largely due to the mix of new devices and applications. Along the same line, network management has become more important over the years, and is only expected to continue to grow; the market for network management is forecasted to be around $10.2 billion by the year 2023.

Network management functions cover several areas, which can be loosely classified into performance management, configuration management, network security management, and fault management. The overarching goal of network management is to ensure that network resources are effectively made available to users and consumed as efficiently as possible.

  • Performance management
  • Configuration management
  • Security and compliance management
  • Fault management

Configuration management

Configuration and compliance management

Manage the configuration of your devices such as switches, routers, firewalls and other network devices by taking control of their entire life cycle of change management to guarantee a disaster-free network.

Ensure your devices stay compliant with industry-leading mandates like Cisco IOS, SOX, HIPAA, PCI, and other custom policies by doing something as simple as associating a compliance template.

Restrict users from making costly configuration mistakes by imparting custom created rule-based access, and in the event of a network disaster, deploy a rollback mechanism to quickly revert the network to working conditions.
