| A **Network Management System (NMS)** is an application or set of applications that lets network engineers manage a network's independent components inside a bigger network management framework and performs several key functions. An **NMS** identifies, configures, monitors, updates and troubleshoots network devices -- both wired and wireless -- in an enterprise network. A system management control application then displays the performance data collected from each network component, allowing network engineers to make changes as needed. | A **Network Management System (NMS)** is an application or set of applications that lets network engineers manage a network's independent components inside a bigger network management framework and performs several key functions.
