You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.90.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:02, 6 April 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Business administration))

'''Systems management''' refers to enterprise-wide [[System administration|administration]] of distributed systems including (and commonly in practice) [[computer system]]s.((Citation needed|date=August 2009))  Systems management is strongly influenced by [[network management]] initiatives in [[telecommunication]]s.  The [[application performance management]] (APM) technologies are now a subset of Systems management.  Maximum productivity can be achieved more efficiently through event correlation, system automation and predictive analysis which is now all part of APM.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.apmdigest.com/apm-and-mom-symbiotic-solution-sets |title=APM and MoM - Symbiotic Solution Sets |date=11 May 2012 |publisher=APM Digest ))</ref>

Centralized management has a time and effort trade-off that is related to the size of the company, the expertise of the [[Information technology|IT]] staff, and the amount of technology being used:
* For a [[small business]] startup with ten computers, automated centralized processes may take more time to learn how to use and implement than just doing the management work manually on each computer.
* A very large business with thousands of similar employee computers may clearly be able to save time and money, by having IT staff learn to do systems management automation.
* A small branch office of a large corporation may have access to a central IT staff, with the experience to set up automated management of the systems in the branch office, without need for local staff in the branch office to do the work.

Systems management may involve one or more of the following tasks:
* Hardware inventories.
* Server availability monitoring and metrics.
* Software inventory and installation.
* Anti-virus and anti-malware.
* User's activities monitoring.
* Capacity monitoring.
* Security management.
* Storage management.
* Network capacity and utilization monitoring.
* Anti-manipulation management

== Functions ==
Functional groups are provided according to [[International Telecommunication Union]] [[Telecommunication Standardization Sector]] (ITU-T) [[Common management information protocol]] (X.700) standard. This framework is also known as [[Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, Security]] (FCAPS).

; [[Fault management]]
:* [[Troubleshooting]], error [[data logging|logging]] and data recovery
; [[Configuration management]]
; Hardware and software inventory
::* ''As we begin the process of automating the management of our technology, what equipment and resources do we have already?''
::* ''How can this inventorying information be gathered and updated automatically, without direct hands-on examination of each device, and without hand-documenting with a pen and notepad?''
::* ''What do we need to upgrade or repair?''
::* ''What can we consolidate to reduce complexity or reduce energy use?''
::* ''What resources would be better reused somewhere else?''
::* ''What commercial software are we using that is improperly licensed, and either needs to be removed or more licenses purchased?''
:* [[Provisioning (IT)|Provisioning]]
::* ''What software will we need to use in the future?''
::* ''What training will need to be provided to use the software effectively?''
:* [[Software deployment]]
::* ''What steps are necessary to install it on perhaps hundreds or thousands of computers?''
:* [[Package management]]
::* ''How do we maintain and update the software we are using, possibly through automated update mechanisms?''
; [[Accounting management]]
:* [[Bill (payment)|Bill]]ing and statistics gathering
; [[Performance management]]
:* [[Software metering]]
:* ''Who is using the software and how often?''
::* ''If the license says only so many copies may be in use at any one time but may be installed in many more places than licensed, then track usage of those licenses.''
::* ''If the licensed user limit is reached, either prevent more people from using it, or allow overflow and notify accounting that more licenses need to be purchased.''
:* Event and metric monitoring
::* ''How reliable are the computers and software?''
::* ''What errors or software bugs are preventing staff from doing their job?''
::* ''What trends are we seeing for hardware failure and life expectancy?''
; [[Security management]]
:* [[Identity management]]
:* [[Policy appliances|Policy management]]

However this standard should not be treated as comprehensive, there are obvious omissions. Some are recently emerging sectors, some are implied and some are just not listed. The primary ones are:
* Business Impact functions (also known as [[Business Systems Management]])
* [[Capacity management]]
* Real-time Application Relationship Discovery (which supports Configuration Management)
* [[Security Information and Event Management]] functions (SIEM)
* Workload scheduling

[[Performance management]] functions can also be split into end-to-end performance measuring and [[IT infrastructure|infrastructure component]] measuring functions.  Another recently emerging sector is [[operational intelligence]] (OI) which focuses on real-time monitoring of business events that relate to business processes, not unlike [[business activity monitoring]] (BAM).
