Network & System Management
Enterprises are increasingly dependent on complex networked systems. They
are thus exposed to failures, performance inefficiencies and other
operational problems of these systems. To control these exposure they
expend an increasing share of their information systems budgets, estimated
at 65%-90%, on operations management of these systems. There is a growing
broad need for technologies that help reduce this exposure to operation
problems and costs of networked systems. Management technologies are
concerned with monitoring, analyzing and controlling the behaviors of
complex networked systems. Current management systems focus on collecting
operational data from networked devices and presenting this to operations
staff at an operations center. This centralized labor-intensive paradigm
has been stretched to its boundaries by the scale and complexity of
emerging networked systems. DCC Lab research focus on developing novel
management technologies to automate management functions and distribute
them in the network.
