Network resilience, or the ability to prevent and withstand network disruptions, is becoming an increasingly critical component for business continuity. But while a recent Opengear survey found that most IT departments (73%) and board members (70%) see network resilience as a top priority, it also revealed that two-fifths of U.S. businesses lose more than $1 million annually to outages.
The need for better tools to prevent and recover from disruptions is not going to let up either. Network complexity is growing by the day, as new cloud, IoT, and edge deployments, along with an increasing number of SD-WAN routers and switches, introduce more complex endpoints. And that’s not to mention new and emerging challenges, such as the explosion of work from home and the needs of managing a distributed workforce remotely.
