need to be put into place, such as a dedicated management system which will store this data at each office. This process of locally storing data ties in with the second recommendation. Migrate data between offices back into the Sydney data stores when network traffic is low such as on weekends. This will ensure that the flow of management data within AdvanNets network will not impede on the business operations and user flows. Recommendation It is recommended that AdvanNets implements a combination of in-band and out-of-band management systems to cater for their network management needs. This approach allows AdvanNets to have a high performance in-band management system; which is typically the high capacity component of network management whilst still allowing the use of out-of-band management in the even of network failures. Whilst this combination creates a redundant system which will be able to manage the data even when critical components fail, it comes with increased costs and complexity in implementation. These issues will need to be considered by AdvanNets administrators when making their decision. In addition to this, the adoption of the recommendation mentioned above in regards to controlling the flow of management data, will ensure that AdvanNets network can be continually monitored without impeding on the flow of user data and activities.
