network monitoring
centre. First, if you can reduce the
workload of IT staff, you have of
course saved money. A survey by
network monitoring firm Paessler
polled 648 of its customers in 2015,
and 64 per cent reported saving
‘significant’ to ‘exceptional’ amounts
of time using network monitoring,
while 24 per cent reported saving
‘some’ work time. Also, 87 per
cent reported network monitoring
increased the general reliability of
their IT system.
The automation of network
monitoring tools reduces the time
spent looking for the source of smaller
issues, which amount to a worrying
proportion of work hours. Too much
time is spent looking for the problem
versus actually fixing it – and this is
one way monitoring can help with the
efficiency of IT spending.
Industry experts have made
estimates that convey that
downtime can have huge costs.
While the numbers are often
impressive, they tell a small
portion of the story. Look at the
long term soft benefits of network
monitoring and you will be able
to make a far more convincing
case for investment in it, and give
yourself the complete picture of the
benefits available.
As well as its regular range of
features and news items, the next
of Data Centre News will contain
a major feature on green IT.
