LAFAYETTE, Colo., Aug. 6, 2009 — APconnections, a leading supplier of plug-and-play bandwidth shaping products and the creator of the NetEqualizer, today released the results of its month-long study into the needs of bandwidth monitoring technology users.
The study sought to determine the priority users place on detailed reporting compared to the overall impact on network optimization. Based on the results of a NetEqualizerNews.com poll, 80-percent of study participants voted that a smoothly running network was more important than the information provided by detailed reporting.
"The study confirms what we've believed for years," said Art Reisman, CEO and co-founder of APconnections. "While some reporting is essential, complicated reporting tools tend to be overkill. When users simply want their networks to run smoothly and efficiently, detailed reporting isn't always necessary and certainly isn't the most cost-effective solution."
Detailed bandwidth monitoring technology is not only more expensive from the start, Reisman says, but an administrator is also likely to spend more time making adjustments and looking for optimal performance. The result is a continuous cycle of unnecessarily spent manpower and money.
Reisman goes into further detail on the subject in a recent post to NetEqualizerNews.com entitled "The True Price of Bandwidth Monitoring." The full article can be found at http://netequalizernews.com/2009/07/16/the-true-price-of-bandwidth-monitoring/
