Future Trends In Network Services And Server Management

Computer network and server management are two most important things for effective

administration of an organization making heavy use of computer machines. Until recently, it has been observed that many companies invest very little in hiring external agencies for network services and server management. Most small and middle level companies however can manage to look after their networking and server related needs by employing the qualified staff.

With hardware and software becoming complex by the day, the task of maintaining computer network and servers is also becoming complex. It would be interesting to observe what future holds in for trends in network services and server management.

As the Internet evolves, so new ways of computing are made possible. As far as computer network is concerned, the trend of "cloud computing" has already been picking up. Currently, the Internet consists mainly of personal computers with large amount of processing power and dick space (called 'fat client computers') connected to servers (other computers that distribute data). The idea behind cloud computing is to gradually reduce the use of PCs with a network computer (NC) or 'thin client'. A thin client computer has a processor similar to a PC but less memory and no disk storage, and so is much cheaper. Instead of storing data, programs and applications on a local hard disk in the PC, the network computer simply downloads data and programs from a server into its RAM as needed. Cloud computing promises economies of scale and centralization, since all the data is stored on a few servers, and any software developments that need to be made apply to these servers only.

It is envisaged that by 2025, all computers will be connected to thin clients in one way or the other. Whether the present Internet infrastructure (phone lines, cables, etc) has the required capacity, speed and reliability to support network computing remains to be seen.

Until that time, organizations will require the professional services of server administrators to install, monitor and manage company servers. In this era of outsourcing, full-time employees may not be sufficiently skilled to handle the job of network and server management. The role can be entrusted to an external agency expert in such matters. Their work involves monitoring of servers remotely, diagnosing problems, tuning, upgrading, migration, optimization, security and the like. For a small fee or a regular contract, you can feel assured of secured system and data safety.
