Systems management refers to enterprise-wide administration of distributed computer systems. A system administrator, systems administrator, or sysadmin, is a person employed to maintain and operate a Computer system and/or network. A computer is a Machine that manipulates data according to a list of instructions. Systems management is strongly influenced by network management initiatives in telecommunications. Network management refers to the activities methods procedures and tools that pertain to the Operation, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning System management may involve one or more of the following tasks:

Functions

Functional groups are provided according to ITU-T X.700 standard. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector ( ITU-T) coordinates standards for telecommunications on behalf of the International Telecommunication Common Management Information Protocol ( CMIP) is a protocol for Network management, it provides an implementation for the services defined by CMIS, allowing This framework is also known as FCAPS. FCAPS is the ISO Telecommunications Management Network model and framework for Network management.

Fault management
Configuration management
Accounting management
Performance management
Security management

However this standard should not be treated as comprehensive, there are obvious omissions. In Network management, fault management is the Set of functions that detect isolate and correct malfunctions in a telecommunications network compensate for environmental Troubleshooting is a form of Problem solving. It is the systematic search for the source of a problem so that it can be solved Data logging is the practice of recording sequential Data, often chronologically. Data recovery is the process of salvaging data from damaged failed corrupted or inaccessible secondary storage media when it cannot be accessed normally Configuration management (CM is a field of Management that focuses on establishing and maintaining consistency of a product's performance and its functional and physical attributes In voice Telecommunication, provisioning means to provide telecommunications services to a user or customer including transmission, wiring and equipment Software deployment is all of the activities that make a Software system available for use A package management system is a collection of tools to automate the process of installing upgrading configuring and removing software packages from a Computer Accounting Management (Business is the practical Application of management techniques to control and report on the financial health of the organization Performance management is closely connected to Performance measurement.

The primary ones are Real-time Application Relationship Discovery which supports Configuration Management, Security Information and Event Management functions (known as SIEM), Workload Scheduling, Business Impact functions (also known as Business Systems Management) and Capacity Management. Performance Management functions can also be split into end-to-end performance measuring and infrastructure component measuring functions. Another recently emerging sector is Operational Intelligence which focusses on real-time monitoring of business events that relate to business processes, not unlike Business Activity Monitoring. Operational Intelligence ( OI) focuses on providing Real-time monitoring of Business processes and activities as they are executed within Computer systems Business Activity Monitoring ( BAM) is Software that aids in monitoring of business activities as those activities are implemented in Computer systems

IDC has recently covered a new subsection named Business Transaction Management ("Business Transaction Management: Another Step in the Evolution of IT Management"). According to the study, BTM represents a leap forward in IT management philosophy, helping firms manage complex IT environments from a business perspective.
