Network uptime is a core measure of business value as IoT, virtualization, and cloud computing reshape how enterprise networks operate. Statseeker CEO Frank Williams identifies network visibility, cost-effective real-time monitoring, and high availability as the three disciplines networking professionals must master to keep pace with increasingly complex and demanding network environments.
What Are the Biggest Networking Challenges Ahead?
The next few years will be highly challenging for network administration professionals. We are looking at huge changes that will impact how things have always been performed. The future of your company and the way you network has several big themes: virtualization, cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and quick network reorganization on demand, among others. As a networking professional, it will be your task to keep up with the future of networking.
On top of that, effective management of your network, cost-effective visibility in near real-time, and keeping your network availability high, will be key aspects to network value within your business. We published an eBook called “Maximizing Network Uptime. Making Your Network Visible in a More Demanding and Complex World” where we are going to look at network management and network visualization tools that provide high levels of information about your network in real-time. But more than that, we are going to look at the ways to use the information your network management software can provide, and how to justify the cost of visualizing your network operations.
These days and in the future, you will have to be able to operate your network at the highest level of efficiency and capability. Doing this will require doing some things differently, and with discipline.
Why Do Most Networks Contain Mixed-Age Equipment?
Most enterprise networks are not uniform deployments from a single vendor. Switches, routers, appliances, and connectors typically span a wide range of vendors, models, and ages, creating what Frank Williams of Statseeker describes as an “archaeological dig” of a network. This mixed-age reality means changes in architecture, operations, and usage demand new approaches and disciplines to maintain uptime.
What Does the Network Uptime eBook Cover?
The Statseeker eBook “Maximizing Network Uptime: Making Your Network Visible in a More Demanding and Complex World” addresses network management and network visualization tools that provide high levels of real-time information. The eBook covers network virtualization challenges, technology trends, emerging industry standards, and best practices across both information technology and operational technology environments.
This eBook is not a technical document on network monitoring, rather it discusses the importance of making your network visible in a more demanding and complex world. It is designed to speak to network virtualization challenges, technology trends, emerging industry standards and best practices.
This informative eBook has been designed as a helpful resource. It provides insight into the constantly evolving information technology and operational technology areas. It aims to empower networking professionals to be prepared and keep up with the future of networking.
