A self-managed network refers to a networking solution where businesses take on the responsibility of configuring, monitoring, and maintaining their own network infrastructure. Unlike traditional managed services where third-party providers handle these tasks, a self-managed network gives organizations full control over their network settings, security protocols, and operational functions. This approach is ideal for companies that have in-house IT expertise and wish to tailor their network to specific business needs. It offers increased flexibility to implement custom solutions and adapt quickly to changing demands. Additionally, self-managed networks can be more cost-effective, as they eliminate the recurring fees associated with managed service providers. However, they require a solid understanding of network management to ensure reliable performance and security.
