The Difference Between Network Managers and Server Managers — Pictorial

October 3, 2008 by Greg Ferro · 1 Comment 

As I am pre­par­ing the present­a­tion to man­age­ment on the pro­posed Cloud Computing infra­struc­ture as a res­ult of the con­sulta­tion, I am put together the fol­low­ing pictorial rep­res­ent­a­tion of the data centre per­ceived scope for Network and Server Managers.

Network Managers

The Network Manager is admin­is­ters a diverse range of equip­ment, typ­ic­ally from many vendors. As the equip­ment is deployed in lay­ers, cost is appor­tioned accord­ing the require­ments of each func­tional deriv­at­ive. The func­tional deriv­a­tion is driven by qual­it­at­ive ana­lysis of the cost impact and busi­ness rel­ev­ance for the for­ward look­ing half year and tri-​​half year plan.

Most sig­ni­fic­antly, the applic­a­tion of enhanced net­work tech­no­lo­gies has seen a sub­stan­tial rise in com­plex­ity and but when bal­anced against the appar­ent improve­ments in per­form­ance and sub­stan­tial budget reduc­tions in recur­rent charges, this is net pos­it­ive to the over­all busi­ness function.

The fol­low­ing dia­gram has been prepared.

Server Managers

The Server Manager has delivered a homo­gen­ous and inelastic envir­on­ment. The lim­ited diver­si­fic­a­tion has cre­ated a eco­sys­tem that has low com­plex­ity and low diversity with repet­it­ive and pre­dict­able out­comes. The sub­stan­tial cap­ital invest­ment in licenses and license main­ten­ance con­tinue to be a major con­cern, as is the sheer num­ber of systems.

Positional Statement

We regard to over­all impact of this ana­lysis to be neut­ral, and that the event hori­zon for insight in to the oper­a­tional con­tinuum will be more evid­ent as we drive into the busi­ness integ­rity phase of this analysis.

This work will be delivered shortly.
