Poll: What Is The Biggest Impact Of Network Failure On Your Business?

A good network is the foundation for just about every component of IT infrastructure, meaning that even the slightest issue can cause a headache for any business.

Even a relatively minor issue such as a loss of wireless connectivity in the office can waste both the time of staff and IT departments.

Have you tried switching it on and off again?

But a major outage can interrupt virtualised and cloud processes, debilitate backend operations and cause disruption for customers.

The potential is there for serious reputational damage and the financial impact of any loss of business resulting from the problems.

And as recent events have shown, no size of organisation is safe. Amazon and Facebook have both been hit by outages, highlighting the need for a secure, reliable network.
