The OSI network management model divides network management into five key areas	Performance Management, Configuration Management, Accounting Management, Fault Management, Security Management
Performance Management	Gather performance data on those variables of interest to network administrators. Analyze the data to determine normal (baseline) levels.
Configuration Management	Automatic configuration data gathering. Records changes in the configuration, Identifies network components
Accounting Management	Inform users of the costs thus far.Inform users of the expected costs in the future. Set cost limits
Fault Management	Maintain and examine error logs. Detect, log and notify users
Security Management	Identify sensitive network resources (including systems, files, and other entities).Determine mappings between sensitive network resources and user sets.
LAN Based Backups	The Backup Server is the central control point for all backups, The metadata and backup policies reside in the Backup Server, Storage Nodes control backup devices and are controlled by the Backup Server
SAN Based Backups	data is moved via a separate backup network or Fibre Channel SAN directly from disk to tape, only the main servers are connected to these fast and expensive networks

: Continuous Data Protection: CDP	"Backup system continuously track changes in data Usually a block-level function but can be file-level "
Replication	"keep a second, synchronized copy of data on a separate system Synchronous technology does not acknowledge the write from the primary application until the block has been replicated to the target site. Primary and Secondary are identical Asynchronous replication acknowledges the write and then replicates that block over time"
HSM	"Hierarchical Storage Management Use different types of storage media, (RAID, disk, tape) each representing a different level of cost and speed of retrieval when access is needed. "
Direct-Attached Backups	"A tape drive is attached directly to the client Only metadata goes to the backup server, relieving pressure on the LAN, "
RAID Levels	"0 Striped array with no fault tolerance 1 Disk mirroring Nested RAID (i.e., 1 + 0, 0 + 1, etc.) 3 Parallel access array with dedicated parity disk 4 Striped array with independent disks and a dedicated parity disk 5 Striped array with independent disks and distributed parity 6 Striped array with independent disks and dual distributed parity "
RAID 1:	Disk mirroring is good for very fast read operations
RAID 3:	"performs poorly when there are a lot of little requests for data, like dbs – performs well under applications that just want one long sequential data transfer like video servers"
RAID 5:	preferred for messaging, data mining, medium-performance media serving and Relational database management systems in
RAID 6:	RAID-6 is seen in environments, and solutions that require long data retention periods, such as data archiving, or disk-based backup

Clustering	Computers grouped together to provide transparent network resources to a that can be managed as a whole
High Performance Clustering (HPC)	"Connect multiple nodes together to add resources Distributed computing different parts of a program run simultaneously on two or more computers that are communicating with each other over a network Parallel computing simultaneous execution of the same task (split up and specially adapted) on multiple processors in order to obtain results faster "

Load Balancing increases scalability and availability	each node is configured to provide the same service
Asymmetric Cluster Architecture	"Also called active/passive clustering Failover Clustering is most common type of Asymmetric Clustering Primary node provides service to clients Secondary or Standby node is idle (can be a less efficient system than the primary) In the event of a failure, the standby server takes over handling all client requests"

Shared Database	"Similar to a shared disk A set of web servers front ends a database server dynamic web content can be created from the shared database server"
Symmetric Cluster	"Also called active/active Every server in the cluster performs active work If one server fails the other servers in the cluster continue processing client requests"
Load Balancing Cluster Algorithms	"Round-robin. Weighted round-robin. Least-connection. Load-based. "
Round-robin.	"distributes the load equally to each server, regardless of the current number of connections or the response time suitable when the servers in the cluster have equal processing capabilities; otherwise, some servers may receive more requests than they can process while others are using only part of their resources."
Weighted round-robin.	"accounts for the different processing capabilities of each server. Administrators manually assign a performance weight to each server, and a scheduling sequence is generated "
