TechRadar™: Business Technology Monitoring, Q3 2013, Part 5 Of 5

In Part 5 of Forrester's TechRadar series on business technology (BT) monitoring, we examine three technologies in the "Equilibrium" ecosystem phase: database performance monitoring, infrastructure event monitoring, and network bandwidth monitoring. While many enterprises will have already deployed these solutions, it's important that IT infrastructure and operations (I&O) leaders understand that these technologies are the foundation of best practice IT service assurance strategies. Therefore, it's critical that implemented solutions provide the value that their business requires. While prior reports in this TechRadar series evaluate 15 technologies in other ecosystem phases, I&O professionals should use this report to determine when you should pilot and invest in BT monitoring technologies in the Equilibrium ecosystem phase.
