Networks that just work
Modern organizations rely on data centers for practically every key facet of their operations. To compete and succeed, they need data center networks that are reliable and easy to manage. In other words, they need data center networks that just work. Nokia is addressing this need with a new mission for data center networks: Human Error Zero. There are two main sources of human error in networks: • Mistakes made by vendors, such as software bugs and hardware issues • Mistakes made by users, such as provisioning errors and operational miscues. Human error plays a role in two-thirds to four-fifths of all outages2. The rest can be traced to planned events such as maintenance windows and unplanned incidents such as power outages. The mistakes made by network operators are further exacerbated by changes in the network and applications. In today’s dynamic data center environments, these changes happen often.
