Latest network management megatrends research from EMA finds
that while network teams are doing better, many challenges remain,
including skills gaps and budget shortfalls
LAFAYETTE, Colo., April 30,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Enterprise Management
Associates (EMA), a leading IT and data management research and
consulting firm, today announced it will host a research webinar
titled "Network Management Megatrends 2024: Skills Gaps, Hybrid and
Multi-Cloud, SASE, and AI-Driven Operations." The webinar will be
based on the latest research report authored by Shamus
McGillicuddy, vice president of research covering network
management at EMA.
Since 2008, the EMA Network Management Megatrends report has
been the definitive benchmark study of enterprise network
operations strategies. Over this period, EMA has surveyed and
interviewed thousands of IT professionals to track how major
technology trends are changing the way enterprises manage, monitor,
and troubleshoot their networks.
In this year's survey of 406 IT professionals involved in
network management, EMA found that 42% of organizations are
currently successful with network operations, reversing a
multi-year decline that bottomed out at 27% in 2022. While network
teams have made strides in reducing tool sprawl and enhancing
problem detection, challenges persist, including skills gaps and
budget constraints.
"To a great degree, there aren't any surprises here," said
McGillicuddy. "Our research finds that many of the same issues
persist year to year. Network teams are underfunded and
understaffed, and they have some persistently bad habits. Many use
large, siloed toolsets that are too noisy and lead to operational
errors. What's more important here is that they're trying to
support digital transformation in the form of multi-cloud
architecture, secure aces service edge, and AI. Network teams must
push hard to transform their tools and processes to ensure that
they don't undermine these transformations."
During this webinar, McGillicuddy will present key findings from
the 2024 report, including insights on:
- Common pitfalls in managing and monitoring modern networks
- How skills gaps are hurting network operations
- How network teams are responding to the proliferation of hybrid
and multi-cloud architectures
- The impact of secure access service edge (SASE) on network
operations
This independent research was sponsored by Alkira, Broadcom,
IBM, Kentik, LiveAction, NetAlly, NetScout, Nokia, and
Progress.
The webinar is Thursday, May 9 at
2:00 p.m. Eastern. Registration is
