Business Challenge
The network enables the business. Nowhere is this more apparent
than in publishing, where content is no longer shipped out in book-
filled cartons but hosted online and downloaded. The implications for
companies in the content business are far-reaching: now that
networks are key both to selling and delivering products, they need
to be more available, more powerful, and more secure than ever.
But when a company’s network is at the heart of a constantly
changing and content-rich business, the network is likely to be
complex, with many different connections, components, and
devices. This makes it difficult for IT teams to know exactly what is
going on, where, and when. If issues arise, one of the most time-
consuming steps in resolving them is the first one: identifying the
problem and its source.
