New Skybox Butterfly Effect report on network bottlenecks illustrates need for automationA new Skybox survey has highlighted the challenges network and infrastructure professionals face, and the tools they believe will help them overcome those challenges.
The report, entitled the Butterfly Effect, found that network managers spend over half their working week remediating misconfigurations and carrying out manual tasks that could be automated, and that over 90% of organisations fear failing compliance audits due to preventable misconfigurations. It also illustrated the unintended consequences of seemingly small changes in a network.
Stevenson says: “The report was named the Butterfly Effect because of the notion that people are making a simple change in one area and, unbeknownst to them, like the fluttering of a butterfly's wings, it has rippling consequences elsewhere in the network, such as misconfigurations that that have potentially damaging consequences.
He adds: “Survey respondents also said they were terrified of failing audits and that they regularly do, at least two in every five years. These failures are due to preventable misconfigurations.”
