Foreword

Where does one start to explain a topic that’s defined by what it isn’t, rather than what it is? Believe me, as someone who’s been trying to educate people in this field for the past three years, it’s a frustrating dilemma, and one shared by lots of technical experts, consultants, and vendors.
