The process of planning, organizing, and controlling a communications-oriented system. In OSI, systems management that involves processing and exchanging management information over two or more nodes. Network management provides the ability to manage one or more nodes from another node.

The functions related to the management of data across the network.

The International Organization for Standards has defined five key areas of network management. These are: fault management, configuration management, security management, performance management, and accounting management. Network management systems are designed to maximize the efficiency and productivity of complex data networks.

Utilizing some or all of the following; account management, change management, security management, fault management, and performance management in support of network devices to properly administer and manage an enterprise or network.

If you have more than one site, you have a network. Network management refers to the capacity of managing all those sites and their users off one simple panel.

Managing all aspects of a network including configuration, performance, accounting, security, operations, and crisis management.

The process of controlling a network so as to maximise its efficiency and productivity including; performance, security, configuration and fault management.

Specialist IT security firms delivering on an outsourcing or consulting basis the management of IT networks.

the execution of the set of functions required for controlling, planning, allocating, deploying, coordinating, and monitoring the resources of a computer network [ ITS 96].

Network management can be defined as a set of activities (e.g. network monitoring, gathering and analyzing the statistics, adjusting network configuration) performed in order to increase the network performance and availability.

The job of controlling a network so it can be used in an efficient manner. Network management is divided into five management categories: performance, fault, accounting, security, and configuration.

Network infrastructures have become more complex than ever. HP OpenViewoffers enterprises and service providers the ability to manage voice and datanetworks through a modular set of products and services that are tuned to yourspecific needs. NIC The Network Interface Card, or NIC, is an add-in card that enables acomputer to connect to some form of computer network.

The process and techniques of remotely or locally monitoring and configuring networks. Under the OSI model network management takes account of five key areas: configuration management, fault management, performance management, accounting management, and security management. A major challenge and often a headache to users because there are no complete answers today, only a patchwork of systems covering different parts of the subject. Vendors either concentrate on the physical (hardware) elements or logical (control and management of interprocess communications) sides. The ITU-TS is slowly considering standards for public networks.

Network Management (NM) permits FOUNDATION Network Manager (NMgr) entities to conduct management operations over the network by using Network Management Agents (NMAs). Each Network Management Agent (NMA) is responsible for managing the communications within a device. The NMgr and NMA communicate through use of the Fieldbus Messaging Specification (FMS) and Virtual Communications Relationship (VCR).

Administrative services for managing a network, including configuring and tuning, maintaining network operation, monitoring network performance, and diagnosing network problems.

As your network grows, it may be necessary to manage communications on your network. This is called network management. Monitoring a network allows you to diagnose problems and gather statistics on network performance, for administration purposes. Also see Hub Network Switch

(1) Administrative services performed to manage a network. Software programs that gather information about network activity. To facilitate interoperability, network managers have agreed on popular standards for network management software operation, including the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and RMON. See also agent, NMS. (2) Five functional areas defined by the ISO (International Standards Organization) as necessary to keep a network operating near maximum efficiency. These are: configuration management, fault management, security management, performance management, and accounting management.

Administrative services performed in managing a network, such as network topology and software configuration, downloading of software, monitoring network performance, maintaining network operations, and diagnosing and troubleshooting problems.

See MIB II and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

Network management refers to the maintenance and administration of large-scale computer networks and telecommunications networks at the top level.
