Achieving a (r)evolutionary IT infrastructure
We started this book by reviewing the current IT infrastructures and the increasing and diversifying demands that are being placed upon them. This growth has, so far, been sustained by “throwing hardware at it,” but that way is no longer tenable. The resulting complexity, caused by the large number of components and interconnections, and the lack of common operational tools able to provide global and unified views of the enterprise’s IT infrastructure, is reaching the point of being unmanageable.
