Public/Private/Hybrid Cloud, SDN, virtualization, mobility, Big Data . . . the list of technology changes and innovations affecting the daily lives of network managers, planners, and engineers is long. And in parallel, the network has never been more visible or important as an essential element for IT success. How are networking professionals dealing with these major disruptions while keeping their eyes on the ultimate goal of highly reliable, high-performing connectivity? What changes must be made to network management products, workflows, and organizations to keep pace, let alone stay ahead of the game?
In response, EMA has conducted a major research study to assess and better understand the current and emerging influences affecting the daily priorities of network managers and operators and the management tools, technologies, and practices they employ.
During this Webinar, Frey and Corbo will provide highlights of this new research and:
- Detail current demands placed on network planners and operators

- Discuss organizational shifts towards increasingly application and service-oriented teams
- Look at the top most common root causes of network and application performance issues
