In the modern technology era, applications requiring high levels of availability must be managed with network and systems management disciplines to avoid unnecessary and potentially devastating outages. By investing in these processes, enterprises can mitigate their exposure to the majority of application service downtime risks involving people and process error. A Network Management System (NMS) is used to monitor and administer a network by collecting and correlating performance and other system, network and application parameters to predict and, thus, avoid potential downtime. Identifying, quickly resolving and preventing problems through root cause analysis, extends performance management into predicting future IT resource needs.
