59. DRAWBACKS & LIMITATIONS
• For local area network System requires Xampp
Server and MYSQL Server 5.0.51
onward, Otherwise System will not work
properly.
• Failure of the server leads to the loss of data in
all log files.
• Many modules in the system are dependent on
the log entry & not on the database values.
• This Centralized Server Manager web portal is
vast. It will be stress on web server.
• Very much reliable on server-side execution of
system commands.
INDEX

60. PROPOSED ENHANCEMENTS
• To store backup on the cloud.
• Will provide SMS Alert for any kind of failure or alarm.
• To store log values in the database.
• It will avoid redundant access to the log files.
INDEX

61. CONCLUSION
Using this excellent tool will enhance the capabilities of
the network administrator. He will be able to do his
tasks much faster & with relative ease. Also network
administrator can enjoy User Interfaces to do his most
rigid tasks. He can manage & control wider number of
users on his network with very much ease.
