ABSTRACT:
Network management is a complex topic. In today's diverse networking infrastructure, the network has to handle more instances of unified communications, video, and virtualization. The role of the network manager encompasses not only monitoring for performance and security, but also anticipating future network problems and transcending technology silos to ensure everything runs well together, whether it's the network, the server, or the application.
