Network Management

Get a Better Handle on Your Network

To meet increasing connectivity demands, organizations not only need strong network infrastructure, but also a way to efficiently and securely manage their networks.

 From single-location offices to data centers to multi-branch organizations, having strong network management capabilities makes it possible to handle increased bandwidth, authenticate users, keep IT infrastructure up to date and more. 

Using a cloud-based network management solution helps centralize oversight and keep everything running smoothly across your network. In comparison, trying to manage network infrastructure haphazardly on a device-by-device basis can lead to issues like security gaps and poor user experience.

Types of Network Management Tools

Depending on factors such as the size of your network and the types of IT assets you have, you can leverage different types of network management tool, including:

  • Cisco Meraki Dashboard: The Cisco Meraki dashboard provides a single, cloud-based interface to manage all your Cisco Meraki devices, including your switches, access points and security cameras. This dashboard makes network management simple by providing clear insights into network activity and enabling zero-touch provisioning as you scale your network with more Cisco Meraki devices.
  • Cisco DNA Center: The Cisco DNA Center also provides centralized, automated network management capabilities that can be useful for enterprises with Cisco Catalyst devices or third-party technologies that Cisco is compatible with. Cisco DNA Center allows you to quickly deploy networks, automatically patch devices, manage access policies and more.
  • Cisco FindIT Manager: For small to midsize businesses, you may have fewer network devices to manage, but you still want to have overall network management capabilities to stay ahead of security and performance risks. Cisco FindIT Manager is designed to manage Cisco 100 to 500 Series devices, enabling you to automatically implement firmware updates, receive automatic alerts such as when devices go offline, configure wireless networks and more.
