An Application for Management and Monitoring the Data Centers Based on SNMP

"Today" few organizations have a thorough understanding of what is on their networks at any given time. This study tries to develop Computer and Network Asset Manager (CNAM) that is a network management application which helps large enterprises, and Small medium enterprises (SMEs) service providers, manage their data centers and IT infrastructure efficiently and cost effectively. CANM collects information on all hardware components of the network instruments that are on the network. In this project, a real-time network monitoring method is suggested for dynamic information to reduce the complexity and cost based on network management. In the proposed method, a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is first used to collect data for start interaction between equipment in the specific data center, to gather these data SNMP would need to request it from Management Information Base (MIB) that served as a database for stored information. Furthermore, to ensure data authenticity in the management station that fetches real-time data periodically from equipment, network engineer would have to manually key-in static information into CNAM when it was first launched. The SNMP would then pick up on this stored static information and automatically began collecting real-time data; this feature will be developed with the help of Model View Controller (MVC) pattern that is a software pattern for implementing user interfaces. It allows users to have interaction with the CNAM as well as input the related data. The object oriented approach shall be used to implement SNMP and MIB which represents system management information. Web Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) is required in order to transfer protocol like SNMP, as well as to enter the actual data manually for further authenticity with the real time data. This study would hopefully encourage companies to try an interactive solution for problem in managing their equipment in the data center.
