Network Complexity: How Do I Manage All of This?
In the evolution of computers and networks, we have developed complex mechanisms to manage one, the other, or both. We organize teams based on technology or task, only to find that the tools they use converge at times and then diverge again. I'll discuss the latest convergences in the context of distributed systems management, network management, security, and voice in a world of ISPs, ASPs, Web services. It all boils down to this: why can't we manage the network just like one large UNIX box?
Eliot Lear started his career developing distributed management tools for UNIX in 1987 at Rutgers University. From 1991 through 1998 he was part of a team that ran a large computer manufacturer network. Since 1998, Eliot has been the Corporate Irritant of Cisco Systems, focusing on the area of network management, network applications, and cross-functional integration.
