flow directly from the network. The objectives of this project are to monitor and provide
information and statistics about the network and also monitor the status of various services,
servers and systems.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS



t is with sincere gratitude that I acknowledge all who have contributed to the successful
realization of my Graduation Project and Report, without whom this work would not have
been possible.

First I wish to thank my project supervisor Mr. HARHIRA Hichem for his support and
guidance, with which I was able to develop my project successfully in due time. I also thank
him for his critical questions, which forced me to read more, think critically and write with
better clarity and especially for teaching me that we learn by doing.

I express my gratitude to Mr. MAALAOUI Hichem, co-founder and managing Director at
Next Step IT, for his assistance in choosing the project.

I also thank Mr. BEN SALAH Bassem for the assistance and advice given during the project
development period and for evaluating the final product. Without his continuous support and
interest this project would not have been the same as presented here.

I thank all the members of the staff at Next Step IT for their guidance and advice, which was
given whenever requested and for their effort spent in the evaluation of the project.

I would also like to mention the support that was given by the technical and nontechnical
staff members of the company.

Finally, I take this opportunity to express the profound gratitude from my deep heart to my
beloved parents and my siblings for their love, unlimited support and encouragement provided
throughout the project period.
