What is Network Monitoring And Management

Network Monitoring And Management utilities focus on gathering and storing data about networks, and the devices attached to them, with the specific aim of enabling network administrators to proactively manage the network. Network Monitoring and Management tools typically allow administrators to manage the configuration of network devices. A Network Monitoring and Management tool may also perform tasks such as vulnerability and patch management.
