Description: Zonal management refers to the administration of different zones within a network, allowing for more efficient organization and control of resources and services. This approach segments the network into specific areas, facilitating the implementation of security policies, traffic management, and resource optimization. Zonal management enables network administrators to define and apply specific rules for each zone, enhancing security by limiting access and communication between different segments of the network. Furthermore, this model is fundamental in various IT environments, including virtualization and cloud computing, where flexibility and scalability are essential. Zonal management also integrates with technologies that allow for the management of resources distributed across multiple environments, both on-premises and in the cloud. In summary, zonal management is a key strategy for optimizing the administration of complex networks, ensuring more granular control and better response to security incidents.
