Abstract
Reducing costs and increasing efficiency are key initiativesfor managing today’s complex networks.
The traditional approach for deploying point tools toThe traditional approach for deploying point tools toaddress network management is inefficient, as are themanual processes which are prone to human error.
This session will show how the HP Software AutomatedNetwork Lifecycle Management solution can address thesenetwork management challenges.
