The Benefit of Ease of Use
When trying to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) and the security risk associated with a network monitoring solution for government IP networks, there are two fundamental components that need to be thoroughly investigated.
The first component is to optimize agency processes. For instance, there are newer technologies, like network packet brokers, that IT teams can take advantage of. The second component is to make you sure choose the easiest to use monitoring solution available. While you need better data, you also need a system that is easy to install, easy to program, and easy to maintain.
There is a distinct need to control mission critical operations for government agencies. At the same time, you don’t want to sabotage yourself with a solution that may appear to be low-cost initially, but be very expensive long-term. Simple choices, like using a graphical user interface (GUI), can cut your long-term operating costs by 75% or more. This is because a GUI creates higher productivity, while facilitating a lower cognitive load.
