Avoiding downtime is the key for ecommerce-based businesses

According to the Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, 40% of Canadian Businesses sell their products and services online.

Given the 24x7x365 nature of today’s business, uptime and availability of critical resources play an important role in determining the success of an organization. To ensure business continuity, organizations must overcome unique challenges every day. One of these challenges is downtime.

Downtime is disruptive, costly and unacceptable in today’s competitive business landscape. Downtime can happen due to several reasons ranging from accidental data deletion to application failure to advanced cyberattacks. Without a robust Network Monitoring solution in place, a downtime event can result in costly consequences and tarnish your business reputation.

Whether you’re selling software, SaaS, or digital products, your online store needs to have processes in place to ensure that you’re operational around the clock––and avoid consequences that go beyond revenue loss.

In the world of digital commerce, downtime is equivalent to turning customers away at the door of your brick and mortar store. There’s nothing stopping customers from navigating away from your site or visiting a different site to find an alternative, costing you a lost sale and worse – potentially a lost customer. When your income depends on the availability of your site, you need measures in place to ensure your business runs smoothly and continuously.

Effective network service monitoring is important to ensure that action can be taken by an IT administrator in the event if a service running on a system crash or becomes unresponsive. It is important for a network administrator to identify a service failure before it effects the end uses or customers. However, in practical terms, it is difficult for system administrators to identify system failures beforehand, considering the number of resources required to monitor the services manually.
