A tiering architecture for integrated network management system

Recently, the walls of wired and wireless networks are breaking down to bring the cluster environment of networks to a chaos, mainly due to the exponential gross of the wireless devices. For the network service providers are taking the burden of caring the enormous networks in a safe and efficient way, they are trying to acquire the excellent network management systems in order to provide the users the robust network services in such a complicated network environments where the size and the variety of the networks keep on increasing. The ways to promote the performance of the network management systems can be categorized into serveral ways: increasing the hardware performance, improving the software performance, or adapting the advanced system architectures. It's relatively well known that the single-tier architectures are inferior to the multi-tier architectures in most of the fields including the network management system architectures. But regarding the specific amount of the gains of taking multi-tiering architecture has not been well documented especially in network management area. In this research, we present the explicit benefits by adapting the multi-tier architecture into network management system comparing to the single or lower tiering architectures.
