A holiday entry.... Companies eating bandwidth while employees shop online
Tags :General
Of course it is the mad rush to get the last
minute gifts, but Network World (amongst others) had an article on the
amount of shopping being done from work and when.
From Akami's Net Usage Index for Retail, we get a report
that the top time is 4:30pm across 200 sites that Akami servers for content
delivery in the retail sector
That means a heck of a lot of you are surfing right before you head home.
As they referred to, it makes sense to allow some shopping to keep
the employees closer and not rushing out for long lunches and traffic around
the malls. We don't block those kind of sites at all, does your enterprise?
Or just sites that pose legal or ethical threats? How many
of you act as Big Brother and watch where people shop?
