Network Management Challenges
• Too much complexityNew devices, technologies, constant growth and change
• No actionable intelligence Too much data, not enough information
• No contextHow do problems in one device impact other related devices?
• High maintenance/TCOToo many resources dedicated to customization or rules maintenance
• Must do more with lessNeed more automation and better ROI
