Chapter 3 of my Free eBook is Now Available - "The Shortcut Guide to Network Management for the Mid-Market"
No matter if you're a member of that "mid-market" category, the topics and concepts in this eBook are great if you want to move your network management from a reactive one to a proactive one.
This 4-chapter guide, specifically written for the network engineer, outlines real-world technologies and processes to implement centralized management and monitoring of your network infrastructure.Using the OSI FCAPS network model as a framework, this guide will lead you through the critical components of fault, performance, configuration and security management, as well as provide detailed information on network troubleshooting and diagnostics.
Chapter 3 of the book talks about...
...how configuration management is a key component of a good Network Management System. Specifically, I talk about why you need one -- which makes this eBook a great justification document for purchasing one if you can't seem to get that purchase through the people who hold your budgetary purse strings.
