\"Introduction<\/p>\n

Network technologies are about increasing speeds. Most new IT advancements are about increasing speed, but networks are particularly important. A slow network slows workflows down for just about anyone. Thus, the popular practice of combing words with operations has come to networking to bring us NetOps.<\/span><\/p>\n

Agile is a lot of IT professional’s favorite buzzwords. It birthed DevOps<\/a> and all its variants. It changed the perspective a lot of people had on IT. NetOps has been somewhat overlooked in the grand scheme of ___Ops, but agile networking is just as important as any other process.<\/p>\n

Another Cultural Shift<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Just like DevOps, it all starts with a cultural shift. DevOps is designed to break down silos, implement best practices through collaboration, and harness modern tools for efficiency. NetOps mostly follows this same trend.<\/p>\n

DevOps focuses more intently on the cultural shift. Without a cultural change, DevOps related tools wouldn\u2019t be as effective. NetOps behaves differently, though, as tools are the driving force of what makes it efficient. Tools bring about the cultural change more than the cultural change brings tools. Network performance monitoring tools, for example, make this NetOps shift possible.<\/p>\n

Maintaining Reliability<\/strong><\/h5>\n

A quality network is more about reliability than it is about speed. What\u2019s the sense in having a fast network that\u2019s only available 60% of the time? Reliability is the essence of NetOps. Following the best practices during an outage or a DDoS attack<\/a> is what makes a NetOps network more reliable.<\/p>\n

It all starts with automation. Automated workflows and analytics tools give teams the insights and time they need to maintain a healthy network. Network performance monitoring tools give these insights to network teams and allow them to get ahead of potential issues.<\/p>\n

Manually searching for network issues doesn\u2019t make sense anymore in the fast-paced IT world. End users shouldn\u2019t be telling you your network is having issues, you should know before they do. Root cause analysis is a great tool for figuring out where problems are stemming from and how to fix them. Retire the network \u201cwar room!\u201d<\/p>\n

Increased Agility<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Having automated tools makes network monitoring a much faster process. Instead of looking for problems, you\u2019re told exactly what the problem is and where it started. Eliminating problems that affect users as they arise should be the priority in network monitoring.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t make sense to dedicate resources to finding a problem when this process can be automated. Many network monitoring solutions also provide specific fixes to problems. A looming network problem won\u2019t potentially be around the corner at every turn. Having confidence in your network is the peace of mind every company deserves.<\/p>\n

Innovation<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Network monitoring tools bring in detailed data about network performance. Data is what drives innovation in any field. Also, eliminating monotonous tasks allows network professionals to spend time on more productive and creative tasks.\u00a0Taking risks will also be less stressful, as root cause analysis is essentially a safety net. If the risk you\u2019re taking doesn\u2019t pan out, you can proactively fix the problem and try something else. You\u2019ll know the problem and exactly what you\u2019re doing wrong.<\/p>\n

Building the best network for your company relies on internal innovation. Network performance monitoring helps you get there, but your team needs to innovate from within to make the best network for your needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
