With businesses going digital and the remote work model gaining more popularity, network management has become one of modern companies’ top priorities. Network monitoring, a subset of network management, has also become a critical measure to implement in a business. Let’s take a closer look at what network monitoring is and how it benefits you.

What is network monitoring?

Network monitoring is a system to track the health of your network across its hardware and software layers. It provides you with the information you need to determine, in real time, if your network is running optimally.

A network monitoring system includes tools that can track various aspects of your network and its operation, such as traffic, bandwidth utilization, and uptime. It can identify devices and other elements that build or touch the network, as well as provide you with regular status updates.

But, why? The answer is simple: to solve problems before it’s too late. With network monitoring, you can detect connection or device failures or issues—traffic bottlenecks, crashed or overloaded servers, failed switches, failing routers, and many others—before they cause network failure. When there are issues detected, the network monitoring system immediately alerts your network administrator, allowing you to prevent outages before they even happen.

Why is network monitoring important?

For modern businesses, network failure is intolerable. It causes disruptions which lead to lost revenue, customers, and employee productivity. According to Gartner, the average cost of IT downtime is $5.600 per minute. Further research also shows that downtime causes a 21% decline in employee productivity.

Moreover, network failure can also mean cybersecurity failure, and the consequences are severe. A study found that companies spend, on average, around $117.000 to recover from a cyberattack. That’s why network monitoring is critical. It helps businesses solve network problems before they happen and minimize downtime, allowing them to retain customers and improve employee productivity.
