Moving Targets for Network Management
by Jim Frey, Senior Analyst, EMA
Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) recently completed a major landscape survey on network management, including updates on technologies, process, and organization affecting the tools and practices used within network operations.

Part of it is not a surprise – participants called out operational cost savings as the single most common business driver for investments in management tools, and such initiatives usually also bring a focus on controlling the growth of human resources despite expanding infrastructures. But one of the more interesting themes that emerged was the overwhelming indication that systems management is now part and parcel of most network operations teams’ daily lives.
