Survey finds companies have low visibility into their public cloud environments
A new survey from Keysight Technologies Inc. has found that companies have low visibility into their public cloud environments and the tools and data supplied by cloud providers are insufficient.
The State of Cloud Monitoring survey of 388 information technology personnel, done in conjunction with Dimensional Research and Ixia, highlighted the security and monitoring challenges faced by enterprise IT staff responsible for managing public and private cloud deployments.
Nearly all respondents in the survey identified a direct link between comprehensive network visibility and business value, while 87 percent of respondents expressed fears that a lack of cloud visibility is obscuring security threats to their organizations.
“The lack of visibility can create a number of problems, including the inability to track or diagnose application performance issues, inability to monitor and deliver against service-level agreements and delays in detecting and resolving security vulnerabilities and exploits,” a spokesperson for Keysight Technologies said.
Some 95 percent of those polled said visibility problems had led them to experience an application or network performance issue while 70 percent of those surveyed stated that public cloud monitoring is more difficult than monitoring data centers and private clouds.
Fewer than 20 percent of cloud professionals said they have the data they need to monitor public cloud environments properly.
“This survey makes it clear that those responsible for hybrid IT environments are concerned about their inability to fully see and react to what is happening in their networks, especially as business-critical applications migrate to a virtualized infrastructure,” Recep Ozdag, general manager and vice president, product management in Keysight’s Ixia Solutions Group, said in a statement.
“This lack of visibility can result in poor application performance, customer data loss and undetected security threats, all of which can have serious consequences to an organizations’ overall business success,” Ozdag added.
