When a company moves a lot of their tech stuff to the cloud, it’s super important to keep an eye on everything that’s going on. This is where cloud monitoring comes in. It helps keep things secure, stops you from spending too much on network stuff, and can even make your business more valuable.
Some smart folks at LiveAction, who are experts in cloud monitoring, did some research on this. They found out the main issues when you can’t see what’s happening in your cloud and how better monitoring can help. A design agency called Nowsourcing turned this into a cool infographic, and we’re going to look at some of the key points.
First off, almost all businesses use the cloud in some way, and most of them use more than one cloud system. Half of them even keep their most sensitive data on the cloud. But here’s the kicker: 79% of these organizations said they’re having a harder time seeing what’s happening in their cloud infrastructure. They’re also struggling to see what’s going on across their cloud operations.
So why is it so hard to see what’s happening in the cloud? Well, most cloud monitoring tools only focus on one specific service. This means data teams have to collect, prepare, and analyze data from different places, and the basic tools they’re using just can’t handle the complexity of modern cloud setups.
Most big organizations use multiple cloud providers, which means they have to use different monitoring tools for each cloud. This makes it really hard to get a complete view of the whole network. It’s also tough to keep track of people using the network from inside and outside the company, VPN users, and all the different cloud applications.
But there’s good news. If you use an advanced cloud monitoring solution, you can cut your security risk in half and solve problems much faster. It can also reduce your cloud infrastructure costs by 30%, so you stop spending too much. Plus, almost all decision-makers think that being able to see what’s happening in the cloud makes their business more valuable.
