Network management platforms assist companies to deploy infrastructure effectively, look up user information quickly, track network health, troubleshoot problems, defend against and react to cyber attacks, and maximize responsiveness. Network management tools can help detect inefficient or improper uses of network resources such as streaming multimedia or peer-to-peer file sharing that can waste bandwidth, reduce employee productivity or enable data leakage. A well planned network management solution can also help companies to make smart network enhancement decisions by exposing tendencies in network demand for different periods or types of jos.

Legacy Network Management Tools from Cisco and Others
Network Management Solutions Professional HelpAn abundance of network management tools from Cisco and third-party suppliers underscores the importance and complexity of supporting IT infrastructure. Progent's seasoned network management engineers are experienced at assisting companies design management solutions based on Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Syslog, and Cisco NetFlow to build effective mechanisms for network utilization and network latency, viewing key router and switch performance characteristics, and recognizing traffic profiles, processes, and appliances utilizing network services.

Progent can assist customers to deploy a rich range of free and license-based monitoring and management products to manage a Cisco-powered environment. Tools familiar to Progent's consultants include MRTG, Cacti, Nagios, PRTG, Cisco Cisco ASDM, Cisco Monitor Manager, Cisco Security Manager, OpenView, Concord E-Health, AlterPoint DeviceAuthority, Adventnet Netflow, Solarwinds Orion, and NetMRI.

Network management platforms can allow IT administrators to be aware of current system usage and effectively plan for future traffic increases. Management utilities can also be deployed to detect inefficient or inappropriate utilization of system resources, for example streaming audio and video, peer-to-peer file sharing, etc. that can use up expensive or limited network resources. A well designed network management plan can also help companies to arrive at intelligent choices on system upgrades once they recognize the amount of network bandwidth historically required at any one time.

Having an efficient network management platform in place ahead of time is critical to prevent major problems that can result from Denial Of Service (DoS) attacks and dangerous viruses/Trojans. Such events can leave the network unusable and in the absence of proper utilities it can be difficult, and in some cases practically impossible, to find the source of the problem.
