  Network management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Network management, typically applied to large scale networks such as computer networks, telecommunication networks etc., refers to the maintenance and administration of such networks at the top level.
Network management is the execution of the set of functions required for controlling, planning, allocating, deploying, coordinating, and monitoring the resources of a network.
This includes performing functions such as initial network planning, frequency allocation, predetermined traffic routing to support load balancing, cryptographic key distribution authorization, configuration management, fault management, security management, performance management, and accounting management.

Management of the network is typically delineated from systems and applications via some sort of demarcation boundary - though most network managers also have a few critical systems and applications such as DNS servers and firewalls that they also manage.
Network managers are responsible for a multitude of tasks including: ensuring the availability and performance of the network, documenting service levels, resolving outages and performance degradations, tracking usage and bandwidth, managing capacity, and accurately planning for growth.
They face a number of challenges including managing a diverse collection of devices from numerous vendors, isolating the source of performance degradation throughout the network, minimizing recurring WAN expenses, and providing consistent reporting across their heterogeneous network infrastructure.
