Network management tools assist companies to implement infrastructure effectively, access client details quickly, monitor system operation, debug problems, protect against and respond to threats, and maximize responsiveness. Network management systems can spot inefficient or inappropriate uses of network services like streaming media or peer-to-peer file sharing that can waste bandwidth, lower employee productivity or leave you vulnerable to data leaks. A well planned network management solution can also assist organizations to make informed capacity planning decisions by exposing trends in network demand for different times or types of tasks.

Cisco Meraki Dashboard Experts

The Meraki Dashboard offers simplified cloud management for Cisco network hardware

Cisco has developed a rich and expanding catalog of infrastructure management solutions that support centralized management for on-premises, cloud-based, or hybrid network models. With Cisco's later generation of security, switching, and wireless networking devices, you can run Meraki, DNA Center, or CLI management platforms for network management. For example, you can connect newer Catalyst or Meraki switches and Catalyst or Meraki Wi-Fi APs to the Meraki dashboard to manage critical components of your corporate infrastructure from the cloud. Progent's Cisco Catalyst WiFi access point experts, Cisco Meraki Wi-Fi access point consulting experts, Catalyst switches consultants, and Meraki switches consulting experts can help your organization to design, implement and tune a modern solution for network management.

Legacy Network Management Tools from Cisco and Others
Cisco Network Management Solutions SupportA wealth of network management products from Cisco and third-party suppliers underscores the importance and difficulty of network management. Progent's Cisco-certified network management engineers are expert at assisting businesses design management strategies utilizing on Simple Network Management Protocol, Syslog, and Cisco Netflow protocols to create powerful mechanisms for understanding network bandwidth usage and latency, viewing key router and switch operational characteristics, and identifying traffic patterns, applications, and devices that use network resources.

Network management tools can allow organizations to be aware of existing network usage and effectively prepare for downstream capacity expansion. Network management tools can also be deployed to detect poor or improper uses of system services, such as streaming audio and video, peer-to-peer file exchange, etc. that can eat up valuable and scarce network bandwidth. A well crafted network management plan can also aid organizations to make informed decisions on network improvements once they understand the amount of system resources historically needed at specific times.

Putting an effective network management platform in operation beforehand is essential to avoid severe problems that can result from Denial Of Service (DoS) attacks and malicious viruses/Trojans. Such assaults can render the network unstable and without appropriate tools it can be time consuming, and sometimes virtually impossible, to identify the location of the trouble.
