Network Management Paper: You were just brought into an organization as its CTO. The board thinks the organization’s networks may not be effectively managed and require you to do an assessment of various automated network management tools. The network management tools the board is interested in are used for (a) security policy compliance, (b) network bandwidth management, and (c) network asset management. Your report to the board must identify each tool by product name and provide a short explanation about how each tool works. In addition, the report must compare, at least, two tools for each of the three network management areas. Which is the best tool for each area and why? Can one tool be used for managing more than one area? Why or why not?
