“Every time we implement a network
change something goes wrong…”
“Isn’t it great, our switch hasn’t been
rebooted in 6 years”
“We can’t update/change the
network, our business won’t allow it”
* Paraphrased quotes from actual network operators

74% of operators report network
changes have significantly impacted
their business*
97% of operators admit human factors
cause network outages*
22% of unplanned outages caused by
human error**
