What is the importance of reducing unscheduled downtime?
Reducing unscheduled downtime is essential for maintaining high network availability, which is critical for business operations. The goal is to achieve less than 8.8 hours of unscheduled downtime annually. By implementing advanced out-of-band solutions and network management automation, businesses can significantly improve their network reliability and ensure that they meet their availability expectations.
How does out-of-band management enhance network reliability?
Out-of-band management enhances network reliability by allowing access to devices even when the primary network is down. This is achieved through console servers that connect to devices at a lower functionality level. By integrating secondary communication links, such as cellular or POTS modems, network administrators can remotely access and manage devices, reducing downtime and improving response times during outages.
What role does automation play in network management?
Automation plays a crucial role in network management by enabling frequent and intensive monitoring of devices. This allows for nearly continuous polling, which can detect issues within seconds. A sophisticated rules engine processes monitoring data to identify abnormal behavior, triggering automated responses that can start the resolution phase quickly, thereby minimizing downtime and improving overall network performance.
