Much more common are single-use products, most of which are performance-based. These gatherers of SNMP MIB II, Host and RMON usage and error statistics have become increasingly popular, thanks to their ability to work over a large range of networks and systems. In some cases the cost of these products is very low--you might even see a payback after only a few days.
But as useful as performance data is, it's just a piece of what you need to manage a complex network and its systems. The configuration portion of the FCAPS model is the key to getting a handle on a network but it's almost never part of big frameworks and has been difficult for performance vendors to back into, at least so far.
