The Seven Deadly Sins of Network Management

Today's businesses constantly demand higher levels of service and reduced cost from IT. The network bears more than its share of the burden when it comes to availability, reliability, performance, and scalability. Network engineers often are tasked with troubleshooting network problems that result from or are commingled with application issues. Additionally, with the rise of service-oriented architectures, multiple redundant data centers, and increased connectivity of branch offices, off-site employees, and partners, IT infrastructure is becoming increasingly complex and distributed, making the task of application delivery even more difficult.

The current generation of network-management products falls short when it comes to dealing with these new challenges, leading to prolonged time to resolution, degraded customer experience, and major costs to the business. Network engineering professionals must look beyond traditional approaches and look for new breakthrough solutions.
