Planning & Baselines
This process determines current network performance conditions
Baseline
This testing applies full expected demand to a system
Load testing
This modern approach emphasizes collaboration and continuous updates
DevOps
This protocol monitors IP traffic across a network
NetFlow
This cloud strategy is also called “lift and shift”
Rehost
Baseline studies should be done when the network is operating like this
Normally (not during problems)
This testing ensures changes did not break other systems
Regression testing
This older method follows a linear path
Waterfall
This system uses managers and agents to monitor networks
SNMP
This cloud strategy is also called “do nothing”
Retain
This process is NOT quick or easy despite what some may think
Capacity planning
This method uses math equations to evaluate network performance
Analytical modeling
This SDLC method is too slow for modern technological change
Waterfall
This standard collects and processes event messages
Syslog
This cloud strategy is also called “rebuild and rearchitect”
Refactor
Baseline results help identify these in a network
Strengths and weaknesses
This method simulates conditions difficult to recreate in real life
Computer simulation
This environment allows safe testing without risk to real systems
Sandbox
This SNMP component controls operations and stores data
SNMP manager
This feasibility asks: can it be completed on time?
Time feasibility
This type of planning is required because networks are mission-critical
Careful network planning
This type of testing involves measuring system performance under stress
Load testing
This deployment method uses one active environment and one for updates
Blue-green deployment
This SNMP component runs on devices being monitored
SNMP agent
This feasibility asks: will it produce expected results?
Operational feasibility
