Folded Corner: Businesses Ignore Proactive Network Management At Their Peril … 80% of businesses still use retrospective or reactive methods as their main tool for measuring and monitoring network performance, according to a new research. The survey, initiated by the company Chevin found that up to 26% of network managers still relied on users to inform them of network problems, in place of more comprehensive network management tools.
Chevin’s annual survey on business network performance issues also found that 26% of companies had no plans to implement a network management solution in the near future. According to the company, this does not sit well with other issues highlighted during the survey, where significant numbers of businesses stated that new applications, increased users and increasing moves towards telecommuting would all have significant impact on their networks in the coming 12 months.
The survey polled 250 IT Departments across a range of different market sectors and sizes found that the most common complaint IT Departments receive from users concerned applications.
“Network Management best practice must be about pro-active and reactive management of the network, servers and applications - but this survey shows there is still a significant lack of understanding about the benefits of pro-active network management techniques,” commented Chevin’s managing director, Mark Kerrison.
