Managing bandwidth and resources are critical in controlling costs and maximising the return on an investment in a network, while offering the greatest array of services as business activity demands. For the first time the industry heavyweights are brought together under the auspices of i2it, University of Wales, Swansea, to discuss their strategy to control and manage computer and communications systems. The seminar will explore the importance of Network Management across national boundaries particularly in respect of 1992 and the evolving European community market. >From a carrier/PTT perspective British Telecom will discuss their Open Network Architecture (ONA) and its close association with developing OSI Network Management standards. Digital Equipment Corporation and IBM describe their respective Network Management Systems and its importance in the control, not only of their equipment but for other suppliers' equipment. Suppliers of predominantly communication equipment, are represented by Newbridge Networks, GPT and STC Telecommunications who examine the requirement for managed private telecommunication equipment both nationally and internationally. Lastly, the European Community representative provides an insight to European policies and legislations in respect of 1992 and how they will influence market trends in Communications and Computer Systems.
