Repetitive strain on the network
29 Jul 2008

A global study of 600 CIOs, network engineers and IT managers today revealed that up to 125 man days each year are wasted by IT teams correcting repetitive issues on the network rather than establishing their root causes and rectifying them once and for all.

The average cost of this network downtime (62 man days) to a business that relies on its network for customer sales and transactions, such as a bank or an online trading company, equates to £1.22 million in lost revenues each year according to a downtime calculation tool from Gartner.

 

The study, released by Network Instruments, highlighted that less than 25% of those with responsibility for the delivery and performance of business-critical applications consider this to be a major network concern.
