Network management is the process of managing and managing the computer networks of one or more organizations. Several services provided by network administrators include fault analysis, performance management, provisioning of network and network devices, maintenance of service quality, etc. Software that allows network administrators or network administrators to perform their functions is called network management software.
There are a small number of accessory methods to support the management of network and network devices. Access methods include SNMP, command line interface (CLI), custom XML, CMIP, Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), Transaction Language 1 (TL1), CORBA, NETCONF, and Java Management Extensions (JMX).
Schemas include the Management Information Structure (SMI), WBEM, the Common Information Model (CIM), and MTOSI among others. Internet service providers (ISPs) use a technology known as Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to regulate network congestion and reduce Internet bottlenecks.
In the United States, healthcare providers provide a niche marketing utility for managed service providers, as HIPAA legislation constantly increases the demands of knowledgeable providers. Medical service providers are responsible for protecting the confidential information of their clients, even in an electronic environment. This responsibility creates a significant need for managed service providers that can provide secure infrastructure for the transportation of medical data.
