Monitor Consistently

Given the dynamic nature of the Internet and your business, the "right" way to route across the Internet is constantly changing. IT managers must frequently monitor the performance of their current cloud providers, and the alternatives in the market. This consistent measurement provides many advantages. Early detection of a problem either through manual monitoring or automated alerts can minimize the impact of an adverse Internet event, and knowing your options can assist in cloud provider negotiations or in creating effective "ready-to-use" alternatives. Also, as your business grows and changes, you can evaluate if your current cloud provider has the ability to scale at the pace you need. Constantly monitoring your cloud provider's performance is essential to keep your business up and running at full speed, and ensure you are using the right partners.
