emloyees access their infrastrcture. Do you seperate and outsource your management infrastructure to your corporate IT support? Do you seperate but control it within your production network engineering groups? If so, do you have a special group within network engineering concentrating specifically on management or do you have the same people designing the network also do the management design?
Although many of the principles are the same, there are differences between running a corporate network and a public network. You can have the same people doing both. In small ISPs its likely the same people will be doing both. A larger company will have seperate groups because they serve different masters and have different measures of success. A company may not want to pay for the same levels of reliablity and survivability for their corporate network as their public IP network.
