一、局域网管软件市场 在网络硬件市场,过去用户购买产品主要是考虑性能价格比。而今,随着技术的成熟,网络产品的管理能力在用户购买产品的时候已经同性能以及价格显得同等的重要。硬件厂商也认为,设备管理产品对用户管理分布式计算环境起着关键性的作用,并将此作为区分不同产品的一个关键性指标。同时,与网络硬件一起配套销售的管理软件也会促进硬件设备自身的发展,这在交换式局域网和ATM网中表现得尤为突出,网管的效率将最终决定硬件设备的 First, the local area network software market In the network hardware market, the past, the user to buy the product is mainly to consider the cost performance. Today, as technology matures, the ability to manage networked products is as important as performance and price when users purchase products. Hardware manufacturers also believe that device management products play a key role in managing distributed computing environments for users and as a key differentiator between different products. At the same time, with the network hardware sales management software will also promote the development of hardware equipment itself, which in the exchange of LAN and ATM network performance is particularly prominent, the efficiency of network management will ultimately determine the hardware
