Network management tools assist organizations to implement infrastructure efficiently, access client details rapidly, track system operation, troubleshoot issues, protect against and react to threats, and optimize responsiveness. Network management systems can spot inefficient or improper uses of network resources like streaming media or peer-to-peer file sharing that can burn up bandwidth, lower employee output or enable data leakage. A prudently crafted network management environment can also assist organizations to make informed network enhancement decisions by exposing tendencies in resource usage for various periods or tasks.

For example, you can connect newer Catalyst or Meraki switches and Catalyst or Meraki Wi-Fi APs to the Meraki dashboard to monitor and manage critical components of your corporate infrastructure from the cloud. Progent's Cisco Catalyst WiFi access point consulting experts, Meraki Wi-Fi AP consultants, Catalyst switches experts, and Meraki switches consulting experts can assist you to design, deploy and tune a modern solution for network infrastructure monitoring and management.

Legacy Network Management Platforms from Cisco and Others
Cisco Network Management Solutions ConsultingAn abundance of network management tools from Cisco and third-party vendors highlights the importance and complexity of maintaining networks. Progent's Cisco-certified network management consultants are expert at helping companies develop network management solutions utilizing on Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Syslog, and NetFlow protocols to build effective mechanisms for tracking network utilization and network latency, monitoring key router and switch performance characteristics, and identifying traffic patterns, applications, and devices utilizing available resources.

Progent can help businesses to utilize a rich range of open source and license-based monitoring and management products to maintain a Cisco-powered environment. Utilities used by Progent's engineers include MRTG, Cacti, Nagios, PRTG, Cisco Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager, Cisco Monitor Manager, Cisco Network Assistant, CiscoWorks, Cisco Security Manager, OpenView, Wireshark/Ethereal, AlterPoint DeviceAuthority, Adventnet Netflow, Solarwinds Orion, and NetMRI.

Network management platforms can allow IT administrators to understand existing network usage and effectively plan for downstream traffic increases. Management utilities can also be used to identify poor or inappropriate utilization of system resources, such as streaming video, peer-to-peer file sharing, etc. that can use up valuable or limited network bandwidth. A well planned network management strategy can also enable businesses to arrive at intelligent decisions on system improvements once they appreciate the amount of system resources historically needed at specific times.

Having an efficient network management system in operation beforehand is vital to prevent severe disruptions that can result from DoS attacks and malicious viruses. Such events can render the network unstable and in the absence of proper utilities it can be difficult, and sometimes practically impossible, to identify the location of the problem.
