Losing a network connection entirely is a worst-case scenario for an enterprise, but service “brown-outs” — defined as unexpected and unintentional drops in network quality — are expensive for businesses to deal with, according to a new survey by network and service assurance company Netrounds.
“Even before conducting the survey, we knew that network brownouts were common, but we were rather surprised by just how damaging they are to businesses,” said Mats Nordlund, CEO and co-founder of Netrounds.
