Independent Research Study Finds Network Visibility Improves Incident Resolution Times for Network and Security Operations

COSTA MESA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Emulex Corporation (NYSE:ELX), a leader in network connectivity, monitoring and management, today announced the results of a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Emulex. This study evaluated the range of issues that enterprise IT staffs face as they manage the performance of their business-critical application and business services. The results indicate that a lack of network visibility (i.e., ability to capture, record, search and visualize network traffic) negatively impacts the ability of IT staff to identify and resolve critical application performance issues, leading to substantial losses in business productivity and revenue. These conclusions are contained in a study entitled, “Improving Incident Response: Building a More Efficient IT Infrastructure,” based on a survey of 158 IT organizations with more than 1,000 employees in North America with direct responsibility for business-critical applications.
