Emulex study shows that network visibility can help avoid the IT blame game

Costa Mesa, California: Emulex Corporation has announced the results of a study of 547 European and US network and security operations (NetOps and SecOps) professionals, which found that 45% of IT staff monitor network and application performance manually, instead of implementing proven network monitoring tools. The study, which was conducted during the spring of 2014, also found that 77% of respondents have reported the root cause of a network or security event to their executive team that turned out to be incorrect. Overall, 73% of surveyed IT staff said they currently have unresolved network events.

G-Cloud: More needs to be done to make it work

In fact, only 70 councils surveyed could identify specific jobs or contracts they would use G-Cloud for. In just over 600 words, Campbell suggests that cloud services have the potential to revolutionise the public sector but G-Cloud isn't helping local authorities and councils to gain access to the leading edge cloud providers they need. Demand doesn’t necessarily create itself.
