The Real Value of Network Visibility

"Best-in-Class organizations are three-times more likely to have the ability to understand the interdependencies among applications on the network as compared to laggards."

— Aberdeen, The Real Value of Network Visibility

Aberdeen Group surveyed 205 organizations in December 2007 to identify practices for enterprise network visibility initiatives and controls. This report is a roadmap for organizations that are striving to accomplish their business goals by deploying capabilities and deployment technology solutions for network monitoring, analytics, and simulation.

Best-in-Class organizations are 35% more likely to use a lab environment for simulating network performance in application pre-deployment stage as compared to laggards. These organizations are two-times more likely to report improvements in their ability to accurately estimate the impact of new technology rollouts on network performance.
