Analysis of Network Management and Monitoring Using Cloud Computing

In the near future the number of equipment connected to the Internet will greatly increase, so that further development of applications meant to verify their operations will be required. Monitoring represents an important factor in improving the quality of the services provided in cloud computing, given the fact that it allows scaling resource utilization in an adaptive manner. This paper aims to provide a solution for the monitoring of network devices and services, allowing administrator to verify connectivity of the equipment, their performances and network security. The main contribution of the paper consists in proposing an integrated solution that is deployed in the cloud for monitoring all the network components. Finally, the paper discusses the main findings and advantages for a reference implementation of the monitoring system using a simulated network.
