EC News DeskOn September 8, Global CIO Forum in association with GFI Software and Ingram Micro successfully hosted a WebSummit titled Think You Need More Network Bandwidth? The virtual websummit discussed the benefits of a real-time network monitoring solution, and participants also saw a brief demo of GFI Software’s Exinda Network Orchestrator solution.
Do you know how much one episode of infrastructure or application failure could cost? A recent IDC study puts the price between $100,000 and $1 million. Not per day. Per hour. It is no surprise that better network management is such an important goal, especially for businesses who often lack resources to deal with poor network performance in a timely way. Network management solutions are among the most critical solutions for small and medium sized businesses. Proactive network management can prevents downtime, decreases revenue losses and improves customer satisfaction.
Topics covered
- The value of conducting regular network performance assessments and how to quickly
- identify and remediate common performance roadblocks
- Recognize the traffic, perform quality reports, create QoS policies
- Why buying more bandwidth won’t solve your performance problems
- About SD-WAN
The session
The keynote speaker for the websummit was Jozef Kacala, Sales Engineer, GFI Software. His specialisation is network security and networking, where he has more than seven years of experience. His presentation was interspersed with poll questions and concluded with a Q&A round.
