Despite networks evolving and developing, it’s critical that companies monitor their networks to remain productive and avoid costly pains in network failure and downtime.
Why Monitoring Your Network Infrastructure Is Important
In a 2016 study, Ponemon reported the average cost of an unplanned outage is $9,000 per minute. A disruption or downtime can also damage critical equipment, data, productivity, and even your reputation.
So how can you prevent the risks of network downtime? The first step is by preparing a preemptive strategy for network monitoring.
Network monitoring assists you in preventing potential pitfalls or quickly identifying the specific areas in which your network is experiencing difficulties.
Benefits of monitoring your network include:
- Diagnose and report on (potential) issues
- Optimize network performance
- Optimize network availability
- Eliminate the need for manual monitoring
- Deter potential hazards proactively
- Collect data and trends on performance and availability
