Successfully managing a computer network means keeping straight dozens or hundreds of network devices. And, unfortunately, too many network administrators don’t have the time or the experience to implement processes to monitor and automate network management. The Shortcut Guide to Network Management for the Mid-Market, specifically written for SMB and mid-market businesses, outlines real-world technologies, processes, and guiding steps necessary to transform your network operations from reactive to proactive.

Using the OSI FCAPS network model as a framework, this guide will lead the network engineer and the IT manager through the critical components of fault, performance, configuration and security management, and will provide a detailed discussion on network troubleshooting and diagnostics. The Shortcut Guide to Network Management for the Mid-Market discusses technologies to implement for centralized management and monitoring as well as proactive steps you can take in your network to plan and prepare for problems before they happen.
