Summary: Benefits Achieved

For most users they do not care about how they get the data, just that they get it. However, improperly

managed networks lead to downtime and loss of access to important data making users painfully aware that

their data depends on a network. Of course, every little glitch will now be blamed on the network amplifying

the need for network monitoring.

And here with performance monitoring, the key to decision making will be the visibility within the network. A

well thought out and implemented network management strategy provides users with a consistent high-level

of network services increasing productivity. The collected management data also can be used to maximize

ROI (return on investment), verify third party service agreements, quantify change and growth leading to an

overall increase in network reliability and effectiveness, and not to mention saving lots of money.
