Bright future for predictive network management.Parallel's approach to network management moves it from reactive (responding to Problems only when told about them) to proactive (identifying problems when they arise) through to predictive--highlighting future problems before they impact a network and are noticed by users. Through manual or automated au·to·mate v. au·to·mat·ed, au·to·mat·ing, au·to·mates v.tr. 1. To convert to automatic operation: automate a factory. 2. analysis of data, emerging trends that could affect the performance of the network can be identified. If network managers are alerted in advance corrective action A corrective action is a change implemented to address a weakness identified in a management system. Normally corrective actions are instigated in response to a customer complaint, abnormal levels if internal nonconformity, nonconformities identified during an internal audit or can be taken to prevent downtime The time during which a computer is not functioning due to hardware, operating system or application program failure. , calls to technical support can be reduced and the impact on customer service can he eliminated. Time and money can also be saved through the automation of the diagnosis and logging of some common problems. Enhancing the performance of the network without further expensive hardware or software investment can be achieved by implementing a series of actions. These include: * Integrating network management products and tools * Centralising Adj. 1. centralising - tending to draw to a central point centralizing decentralising, decentralizing - tending away from a central point decentralising, decentralizing - tending away from a central point the management of data and automating its analysis * Implementing an event management solution * Bespoke be·spoke v. Past tense and a past participle of bespeak. adj. 1. Custom-made. Said especially of clothes. 2. Making or selling custom-made clothes: a bespoke tailor. presentation of the summarised result In A network which uses satellite communication, solar radiation solar radiation, n the emission and diffusion of actinic rays from the sun. Overexposure may result in sunburn, keratosis, skin cancer, or lesions associated with photosensitivity. reliably causes two outages each year for each of its several hundred sites. Through automation and analysis, these outages are identified in advance and sites notified. In this example of predictive network management, action can he taken to minimise any disruption during the outages. www.parallelltd.uk |
