Scott Riley discusses the importance of real-time network management given the challenges of an increasingly mobile workforce, growing app usage, and rising cloud adoption (the "digital tsunami"). Traditional monitoring silos provide only a partial view and manual correlation of issues, while a single, well-connected monitoring platform can correlate events in real-time to more rapidly diagnose problems. Key benefits include real-time monitoring, automatic fault remediation through runbook automation, bandwidth monitoring, and compliance management to track network changes. Scott demonstrates OpManager, a vendor that provides integrated, real-time IT management solutions.
