Complexity has been one reason for interest in AIOps.
In the last year, the number of enterprises with over 500 known applications has grown by almost 50 percent, from 32 percent to 47 percent of respondents In parallel, those reporting greater than 20 SaaS applications grew by 37 percent, from 24 percent to 33 percent, according to Aryaka Networks’ State of the WAN report.
With growth comes complexity, which is still the #1 issue for IT on par with last year at 37 percent, followed by slow application access (33 percent) and performance (32 percent). One area that stood out was cost, identified by 20 percent in 2021 vs 16 percent in 2020, a 25 percent rise. IT Time Sinks: Complexity results in increased resource requirements, spanning slow performance for both the branch and remote workers (44 percent), security breaches (38 percent), integration of cloud and SaaS applications (36 percent), and managing telcos (33 percent).
