Evolutions in management, operations and supervision

Management: stakes of the growing complexity

of networks

of the financial aspects which rule the 21st century company
mergings / purchases / transfers / division into subsidiary companies / deletions / externalizations / ...

Solution: policy management

Network management only sees devices

Policy management enforces real business needs

Quality of service rather than security for the time being

Only solution supporting the growing number of firewalls

The NOC or telecoms must also integrate security

Security is a core networking function

like routing is

like QoS is going to be
