 Successfully managing a computer network means keeping straight dozens or hundreds of network devices. And, unfortunately, too many network administrators don't have the time or the experience to implement processes to monitor and automate network management. The Shortcut Guide to Network Management for the Mid-Market, specifically written for SMB and mid-market businesses, outlines real-world technologies, processes, and guiding steps necessary to transform your network operations from reactive to proactive.
Chapter 1:

 Planning and assessment begin with a careful identification of the business drivers for change. This evaluation must include thoughtful analysis of the current methods of voice communications and both the voluntary and involuntary drivers. Planning and assessment also include setting proper expectations with both users and management. Chapter 3 will explore these areas as well as how to perform a unique capabilities inventory that is designed to ensure that every capability used in the current/old system is at least considered for inclusion in the new system.

To address new service integration, the chapter will explore a methodology, called the “performance envelope,” for mapping the characteristics of the corporate network.

 While virtualization has impacted every part of IT, security lags. As a result, most security products today do not easily support a virtualized infrastructure. Next generation security products are emerging however.

Data center architects and security architects need to carefully choose security products that support -- and not subvert -- their data center virtualization strategies.

 Why has image spam become so popular? Because it is sneaky and
effective for the spammers. Image spam defeats most spam filters. The
clever spammers are fooling most spam filters by putting graphical text
