A network monitoring system can monitor the entire school network in search of
critical events that could potentially interrupt service and cause loss of time and
resources. It can be configured to execute certain tasks in order to prevent or
correct critical events before they have an effect on the network.
Network monitoring will allow collection of data on historical and current usage,
remaining capacity and system failures so that you can identify and analyse trends.
This information provides a valuable input to the ICT strategy and budgeting
process. This is where running suitable network monitoring software really helps the
school, providing a variety of useful reports, graphs, and so on for use by the
leadership team.
