The Less Efficient Your Network, the More Likely Downtime Will Cost You
Did you know that network downtime is costing your company around 3.6% of its annual revenue, according to a recent Infonetics Research study? If you think your company does not fit that profile because your network is hardly ever down, you may need to expand your definition of downtime.
Downtime is considered any time that people cannot properly perform tasks because of issues with the applications that rely on the network. For example, if email is slow, productivity company-wide is slowed. If servers are backed up, customers cannot place orders in a timely fashion—and may go somewhere else. If packets are being dropped, communications suffers, along with the business.
In short, a network that is not optimized means the likelihood of downtime is dangerously high and your company will be at a significant—and costly—risk.
NetMRI Streamlines Availability Management through Automation
Managing business risks related to the network means, first and foremost, minimizing downtime. IT organizations spend countless hours tediously collecting data and correlating information about their networks in order to meet the primary goal of maintaining the highest availability.
NetMRI takes the drudgery and the risk out of availability management by automating data collection and correlation. Using built-in expert best-practice “rules”, NetMRI analyzes your network daily—or on an ad hoc basis, whenever you want—to search for vulnerabilities and identify problems prior to any real interruption on your network.
NetMRI Automates Your Company Policies and Audits Compliance to Avoid Downtime Pitfalls
Our customers use NetMRI’s expert analysis and in-depth data collection to illuminate problems in their networks before they can impact any end user or application. NetMRI employs a high-level scorecard to deliver daily data collection and expert analysis in a clear graphic report that makes immediate sense. You see trouble spots before the network does, and that gives you the power to prevent downtime and ensure high availability.
NetMRI shows you the cause, not just the symptoms. Your network will stay in compliance because NetMRI audits compliance on every device every day. Your company policies will be enforced throughout the network because NetMRI reports any deviation on every analysis run.
Isn’t it time to minimize downtime on your network?
