The average IT team hasn’t evolved much over the years, but what has changed is the technologies that IT teams have access to.
Increasingly, today’s enterprises have more distribution than before, meaning there are more cases of remote offices with team members utilizing mobile devices, laptops and files – all stored in the cloud.
If you want an idea of how your IT team stacks up, pay attention to the following three metrics. They will help you gauge the success of your cloud platform.
Capacity
Capacity has become what bandwidth was previously. By definition, capacity is the transit rate between destination and source along a network. Like bandwidth, having a low capacity in spots along a network can harm the overall user experience.
Jitter
Jitter is the measurement of time between when network packets are sent and when they arrive at their desired destination. Jitter can be the cause of users having different experiences from one another along the same network.
Latency
Latency is the physical time—measured asymmetrically, like how the internet works—it takes network packets to move to their desired destination from a source.
