NMS (Network Management System)

A Network Management System (NMS) is a software platform that monitors, controls, and maintains a computer network to ensure it functions smoothly. It continuously checks devices like routers, switches, and servers for performance issues, outages, or security threats. By providing administrators with real-time data and alerts, the NMS helps prevent problems, optimize network performance, and coordinate troubleshooting efforts. Essentially, it acts as the central command center for managing and ensuring the health and security of an organization’s network infrastructure.
