One of the more interesting data points to come out of our State of Application Delivery 2015 was the overwhelming importance placed on availability – even over security. When respondents were asked which service they would not deploy an application without, they chose availability. Security came in a close second.
This caused a great deal of discussion. After all, one of the most often cited impediment to adopting, well, everything has been and remains security. One would think, then, that security is top of mind and clearly a priority for everyone.
Yet availability beat it out for what amounts to the «most important application service.»
