Aussie businesses suffer during network outages

Forty-five percent of 127 respondents believed that their business could not sustain an outage of business critical networked applications for less than four hours.

Approximately half of these believed an outage of less than five minutes would be detrimental to their overall business.

In rating the challenges, utilising or implementing business critical networked applications, respondents saw increased security concerns, application performance, application availability and bandwidth constraints as key challenges.
