Managing networks within traditional enterprises is tough. And if you work for the government, you have additional requirements and special circumstances to consider. If you work within the DoD, not only are you managing some of the most complex networks in the world, but a lot more is riding on it than lost revenue and angry customers.
As a decorated veteran of the U.S. Air Force, Head Geek Josh Stephens focuses on the best practices he used for optimizing network management within government environments. During this session, he addresses topics including:
• Securing the management environment
• Assessing the manageability of the network
• Evaluating the currently deployed NMSs
• Selecting new network management applications
• Scalability and performance considerations
• Metrics and reporting
