Essays on Network Management

Introduction.

In the automotive industry, today, electronic systems and mainly semiconductor technologies have really helped improve vehicle performance and harness numerous capabilities that were not present years ago. Key among these technologies are microcontroller chips which are involved in a wide array of functionalities ranging from braking, engine control, air bags, chassis control, entertainment, lighting and even infotainment among other functions that are now part of modern “smart cars”. In modern microcontroller chips, new functionalities can be implemented using software by leveraging the improved performance and memory features seen in modern designs. On the other hand, technology standardization and the ...

Problem within the context

However, over the years, its exponential growth has overwhelmed the telecommunication capabilities of its network infrastructure, and the third party that was recruited to provide network infrastructure has not been able to keep ...

The purpose of having a functional supply chain is maximizing profits. As such, the supply chain network will strive to strike a balance between productivity (Efficiency) and profitability (Effectiveness) (Manuj & Mentzer, 2008). Therefore, when the basic operational management techniques are applied in the supply chain network management, they are meant to boost profit maximization objective of the firm. Creating process visibility in the supply chain is one of the operational techniques that are applicable in supply chain management (Boyer & Verma, 2010). It is not always that everyone in the supply chain will adopt the guidelines in the blueprint and ...

Self-Organized Network (May 2016)

Abstract—In the form of a literature review, this outline is a brief outline of the intricate, yet fundamental elements of Self Organized Network (SON). The author takes an in-depth account of research studies and basic writings of this telecommunications platform and weighs in on the writings of subject matter experts. In doing so, findings indicate that the technological demands that are placed on telecommunication networks is directly related to the economic chain of supply and demand. Indirectly, there is are environmental concerns that are ignored in meeting such demands that address waste and emissions. While SON may fix ...

Introduction

Rapid and extensive constant growth of IP-based networks in addition to increasing dependencies on these networks has made their management and maintenance tremendously challenging. Round the clock monitoring and maintenance of the networks is significant so as to reduce the down time of the network. The increase in the dependencies of Internet Protocol-based network and the importance of their continuous monitoring has resulted in the rapid growth in the application and use of automated network monitoring systems (Chiang et al., 2009). The paper outlines the differences and similarities that exist between two different network management systems: PRTG Network Monitoring ...
