Transform your Network Management Processes
The traditional approach to network management focused just on the availability of networks. While that is still important, today's network managers are also being held responsible for the performance of network and applications. The traditional approach to network management was also highly manual and was built around technological and organizational silos. In order to be successful in these challenging economic times, IT organizations need to transform their network management processes from costly, stovepiped manual methods to a fully automated, approach that features the integration of proactive network fault and performance management. The HP automated network lifecycle management solution offers both a strategy and an integrated portfolio of applications to accomplish just that. Listen to a conversation between Jim Metzler and Stelio D'Alo that discusses the business, technology and management trends that are impacting your job.
