The centralized system approach for computer and telecommunication network management has been presenting scalability problems along with the growth in the amount and diversity of managed equipment. Moreover, the increase in complexity of the services being offered through the networks also contributes to adding extra workload to the management station. The amount of data that must be handled and processed by only one administration point could lead to a situation where there is not enough processing and storage power to carry out an efficient job. In this work we present an alternative approach by creating a highly distributed computing environment through the use of Grids of autonomous agents to analyze large amounts of data, which reduce the processing costs by optimizing the load distribution and resource utilization.
