Client/Server Interface Monitoring and Management

Dr Isa Ali Ibrahim

Abstract

Accessing the internet by many users in organizations creates threat to many companies due to the frequent flow of unwanted messages. These problems also affect centers that provide internet access in a confine environment such as cyber cafe. The need to be able to monitor client who logs into the network becomes very essential. The purpose of the study is collecting of useful information from various parts of the network so that the network can be managed and controlled using the collected information. The study attempts to investigate the design of a typical cyber café time management system to help cafe administrators effectively manage clients' time and trying to examine how people that gain illegal access into network resources can be prevented. The study involves relevant respondents of the ICT Centre of ATBU, using structured questionnaire of data analysis. The result of the study showed that client/server model facilities interface monitoring enhances security. It also allows connection, fault, account and traffic monitoring. The effect of client/server model increases and enhances cyber cafe time management. The study also recommends quality network monitoring should be put in place, security/ authentication should be increased and enhanced, better timing should be put in place for remote users, data encryption should be adopted and lastly firewalls should also be critically observed .
