Abstract

Ağ altyapıları, görece mikro ölçekli ofis veya üniversite kampüslerinden makro ölçekli akıllı şehirler veya ulusal savunma sistemleri gibi yapılara kadar değişen büyüklükleri ile modern yaşamımızın omurgasını oluşturmaktadır. Buna bağlı olarak sağlanan hizmetlerin ve ağ altyapılarının kalitesinin ve sürdürülebilirliğinin etkin yönetimi modern hizmet sağlayıcılar için vazgeçilmez hale gelmiştir. Bu çalışmada güvenilirlik, kullanılabilirlik ve sürdürülebilirlik gibi standart özellikler göz önünde bulundurularak ağ performans yönetimi ve sürdürülebilir ağ altyapılarının yatırım seviyeleri için çeşitli sorular belirlenmiştir. Aynı zamanda ağ verimliliğini ve sürdürülebilirliğini ölçmek için kullanılabilecek yazılım araçlarıyla birlikte performans yönetimi süreçlerinin çeşitli aşamaları açıklanmıştır. Bilgi ve iletişim teknolojileri için temel anahtar performans göstergesi kategorileri ve tanımları çalışmamızda ağ yönetimi bağlamındaki işlevlerine göre derlenmiştir. Bir ağ üzerinde sağlanan hizmetlerin önemine bağlı olarak farklı uygulayıcılar için altyapının izlenmesine yönelik farklı performans yönetim sistemlerinin geliştirilmesi gereklidir. İhtiyaç duyulan yönetim sistemlerinin geliştirilmesi bu çalışmada kapsamlı bir şekilde derlenmiş gösterge ve yazılım araçlarının entegre edilmesi yoluyla mümkün olabilecektir.

Performance Metrics and Monitoring Tools for Sustainable Network Management

Abstract

Network infrastructures comprise the backbone of our modern life, ranging in scale from relatively micro-level settings of offices or university campuses, to macro-level structures such as smart cities or national defense systems. Consequently, effective management of the quality and sustainability of provided services and network infrastructures has grown to be essential for modern service providers. Considering standard features like reliability, availability and maintainability, several questions are identified in this study for network performance management and investment levels of sustainable network infrastructures. We describe various stages of the performance management processes, along with corresponding software tools to measure network efficiency and sustainability for information and communications technologies. Fundamental key performance indicator categories and their definitions are also compiled according to their functions within the network management context. Depending on the importance of services provided on a network, it is necessary to develop different performance management systems for monitoring the infrastructure for different practitioners. The development of required management systems will be possible by integrating the comprehensive compilation of indicators and software tools presented in this study.
