Network Analysis and Optimization
Background
Mineset has proven to be an ideal tool for network analysis. Computer networks are rapidly expanding within organizations across the globe. Masses of data are accumulated and networks are fast becoming unmanageable:
"Did you know that the world currently produces approximately two billion gigabytes (or two exabytes) of unique information per year?" According to a University of California study, this is roughly 250 megabytes for each person on earth (DM Review).
Red Herring's "The Age of Petabytes" forecasted data growth rates of 75 to 150 percent per year.
A META Group analyst who spoke at an eCRM conference projected data increases of a hundred-fold within five years through the year 2004. Enterprises that are having difficulty coping with three terabytes (TB) of data today need to quickly find solutions for dealing with 300 terabytes of data tomorrow. Since the conference, other META representatives have validated this growth factor as well as the urgent need for in-depth strategic data management planning. (DM Review)
Deployed network bandwidth grows 3X annually - suppliers and users can't track all security threats or optimize efficiently.
