AutoNOC is the right product for people who are too busy to build a management system and just want one that is easy to use and works reliably. This problem is compounded by a rapidly changing environment requiring employees and personnel to retool their skills every 6 months or less. Training centers and certification programs are helping to address these problems, but new staff are often faced with too much to learn in too short of a time period. As businesses become more dependent on network infrastructure, the cost of downtime to a business increases dramatically. When the network goes down, employees are left idle and business stops.
All eyes turn to the network administrators and IT staff, who are already overworked.
New technologies like optical networking promise to increase the capacity of network pipes, but according to most analysts, performance will still continue to slow. Applications for the Internet are being created faster than the infrastructure can grow. These problems should eventually level out, but the growing pains placed on increasing network dependent businesses will extol their cost. When network issues reach a severe level, they are often very difficult to troubleshoot, track down, and resolve due to the complexities of the infrastructure. All of these management challenges lead to dissatisfaction among the customers and users on the network every day.
