  3. Analytic Data vs. Surveys Predicting Real Trends in IT What is your perspective?

  4. Analytic Data vs. Surveys Predicting Real Trends in IT Sources for Understanding and Addressing Trends:

  5. Analytic Data vs. Surveys Sample Survey On a scale of 1 – 5 with 5 being the worst…. How good looking are you? 1 2 3 4 5

  6. Analytic Data vs. Surveys Predicting Real Trends in IT What is really happening on the network and why? 4 “Commonalities” of IT Environments

  7. Analytic Data vs. Surveys Predicting Real Trends in IT

  8. Analytic Data vs. Surveys Real World Says Random Picture of 147 Networks from 2010 90 % 135 out of 147 Networks had either IM/Chat deployed, Videoconferencing deployed, or VoIP deployed 12 % 18 out of 147 Networks had all 3 (IM/Chat, Videoconferencing, and VoIP deployed) 48 % 71 out of 147 Networks had Skype deployed 35 out of 71 Networks with Skype deployed had a Cisco, Avaya, or Nortel UC system deployed already 45 %

  9. Analytic Data vs. Surveys Survey Says *Data Source: InformationWeek Analytics 2010: RISC Networks’ Unified Communications Survey of 406 business technology professionals, 04 / 2010

  10. Analytic Data vs. Surveys Network Performance Issues Packet Loss is the #1 Performance issue in Networks Today

  11. Analytic Data vs. Surveys Survey Says Get 10GB “10 Gigabit Ethernet Port Shipments Exceed 2 Million During 2009 ” “The report also shows that 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) was the only market segment to show sequential port and revenue growth in 2009, due in large part to shipments of purpose-built fixed 10 GE boxes for the data center. The majority of market revenue growth in 2010 is also forecast to come from these 10 GE product”– Dell’Oro Group

  12. Analytic Data vs. Surveys Real 10 GB Ethernet Adoption Picture • 109 Customers • 34 Have 10Gbps • 2,271 Average Nodes • Only 396 10Gbps ports in use

  13. Analytic Data vs. Surveys Do you even need 10GB Ethernet? 100 Mbps Shows Output Drops at 84%

  14. Analytic Data vs. Surveys Do you even need 10GB Ethernet? 1 Gbps Shows Output Drops at < 49% WHAT GIVES?

  15. Analytic Data vs. Surveys Predicting Real Trends in IT 33 % of Cisco 6500 Ports are on Oversubscribed Line Cards “It is important to note that the 6148A-GE and the 6548-GE are both engineered with 8:1 oversubscription ratios and, as such, while suitable at the access layer, these linecards would not be recommended to deploy as uplinks or within the distribution and core layers – Cisco QoS Design Guide (Telepresence) “http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Video/tpqoscampus.html

  16. Analytic Data vs. Surveys Sometimes Surveys are Right! How Old is Your Software?

  17. Analytic Data vs. Surveys You can do Analytics! • Mine Data that you already have • Monitoring Systems • Inventory Systems • Implement “Active Testing” • Quantify, Quantify, Quantify • Align IT Solutions to reach Strategic goals by overcoming ACTUAL challenges

  18. Analytic Data vs. Surveys Analytics is not Monitoring 2996 Packets 4500 Packets 1495 Packets
