Network World: Performance management from the client’s point of view
“As network executives try to ensure critical applications operate at peak performance, a number of vendors promise to deliver the only measurement that matters. After all, who cares that servers are responding quickly if users complain their applications are slow?”
NetPerformance.com/Developer’s Corner: 42 is the final answer
“So, Mike would tell Paul, ‘Oh, we’re trying to get all the employees who worked on Thursdays during October because, um, finance needs to know that for some reason.’ Paul, being a programmer, would not want to talk to finance for any reason really, so he would just go along and produce even more complicated SQL which is now querying more tables, performing more joins, and confusing even more programmers.”

Low buy-in costs have made acquiring more servers a cheap, easy way to provide local connectivity, solve capacity problems, and meet immediate needs. After all, how much time can an organization spend analyzing a low-cost purchase? The result has been a proliferation of devices, not only representing a significant investment by themselves but also requiring software, power, connections, and management time.”
