In ITsystems management, service delivery is always considered as the tip of the iceberg. There are various underlying heterogeneous systems that help the IT team deliver business services to the end users. These systems include Routers, Firewalls, Switches, WAN accelerators, Servers (Physical/ Virtual), Applications/ services, Load Balancer, Racks, Sensors, Cooling systems & much more. Delivering streamlined IT services depends on the performance of these systems. This mandates that each system should be strategically planned, deployed, and maintained throughout its lifecycle. For most of its tenure, the systems remain in the operations and maintenance stage, where they are monitored for health and performance, and the resources are optimized. The following block diagram highlights OpManager functionality in the network systems management scope.
