Making Things Work Better, One bit At A Time

Subject: December Monthly note

 

Hi all,

Just few notes this month;

I provided Fluke Networks my two cents about troubleshooting, etc…

Here is the except from Fluke’s last emailer;

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Has your network management approach kept up with your network? On average, the network causes 15% of all problems resulting in downtime at $1 billion-plus companies,

according to a survey by Forrester Research. However, only 2% are caused by actual networking

hardware failures. The other 13% are due to different issues like human error, unmanaged changes,

mis-configurations, routing failures, and problems with networking software.
