Network and Server Management
Network Attached Storage
Lower costs, more agility
Cloud-based network management systems typically have low startup costs for users, since they do not require local servers. These systems also enhance IT agility, since they offer business teams easy access from anywhere for those that are geographically dispersed.
Better performance, more security
On-premises servers offer greatly increased performance for larger campus networks, especially when assurance, analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are included in the network management system. A local server also offers greater security for network data, since everything is stored onsite.
Downsides to on-premises systems
There are some downsides to using on-premises network management systems. For example, remote access to the server requires a VPN connection. So, an on-premises server cannot provide the same level of IT-team agility as a cloud-based server, especially for dispersed teams in branch offices.
Also, network administration for on-premises systems is resource-intensive. It includes installing, maintaining, and upgrading the hardware and software necessary to keep the network running optimally.
