Background of the Study
Cloud-based network management has revolutionized how organizations, including universities, manage their IT infrastructure. Traditional on-premises network management solutions require significant resources for maintenance, scalability, and security, making them inefficient in dynamic environments (Afolabi et al., 2023). Cloud-based network management offers a scalable, cost-effective, and secure alternative by enabling remote monitoring, automated configuration, and real-time analytics.
Federal University, Gusau, has an expanding digital infrastructure, requiring an efficient and secure network management approach. Cloud-based solutions provide centralized control, improve network visibility, and enhance security by leveraging artificial intelligence (Alhassan & Yusuf, 2024). However, despite its advantages, challenges such as latency, data privacy concerns, and integration with existing systems remain key areas of investigation.
Statement of the Problem
The university currently faces difficulties in managing its growing network infrastructure due to the limitations of traditional on-premises management solutions. These challenges include high maintenance costs, limited scalability, and inefficient troubleshooting processes. Additionally, the lack of real-time monitoring capabilities makes it difficult to detect and respond to network threats promptly. This study investigates the adoption of cloud-based network management to address these challenges, evaluating its benefits and potential drawbacks.
Objectives of the Study
-
To examine the current network management challenges at Federal University, Gusau.
-
To investigate the benefits and drawbacks of cloud-based network management.
-
To propose strategies for effective implementation of cloud-based network management at the university.
Research Questions
-
What are the key challenges faced by the university in managing its network infrastructure?
-
How can cloud-based network management enhance efficiency and security in the university’s IT infrastructure?
