SOA Network Management
The phrase “Network Management” is used in reference to the administration and maintenance of massive telecommunications networks and computer networks on the highest level. Network Management can be thought of as the execution of the set of functions that is necessary for planning, deploying, controlling, allocating, monitoring, and coordinating a network’s resources. That includes the performance of such tasks as frequency allocation, initial network planning, accounting management, managing bandwidth, managing performance, managing security, managing faults, managing configuration, as well as cryptographic key distribution authorization.
Many protocols are in existence that work as a support for networks and manage network devices. Some of these protocols include SNMP, netconf, CMIP, Java Management Extensions, WBEM, Transaction Language 1, and Common Information Model.
The data for the management of networks can be collected via numerous mechanisms. Some of these include real user monitoring, infrastructure agents, sniffers, synthetic monitoring that serves as a transaction simulator, as well as activity logs.

IBM Tivoli Framework
Another Network Management architecture solution is the IBM Tivoli Framework. IBM acquired this systems management platform in the year 1995. It is a CORBA based architecture that allows the platform to take care of numerous remote devices and locations.
The IBM Tivoli Framework is regarded as a best practices paradigm. Many different projects utilize the Tivoli Framework. Over time, however, it seems that Service Oriented Architecture techniques will come to completely replace the IBM Tivoli Framework.
Some of the products that utilize the IBM Tivoli Framework include the IBM Tivoli Distributed Monitoring Classic, the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console, the IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager, the IBM Tivoli Remote Control, and the IBM Tivoli NetView.
