Many years ago, at Louisiana State University (LSU), I taught the basics of evolution as part of a class on learning and behavior. The concepts behind evolution started, of course, with biologists, but have been adopted by behavioral scientists and now, by technologists. Evolution is best characterized by the notion that species better-adapted to their environment will survive, reproduce, and continue to thrive. Although long removed from the classroom, I still think about this way too much – particularly how it applies to technology and the market. In this context, companies and products that survive and thrive do so because they are a better fit for their existing environments.

When it comes to getting something done in IT, the question of “How?” can be overwhelming. There are many different solutions on the market to achieve our data center monitoring and management goals. The best way to achieve success is for project managers and engineers to work together to determine what tools best fit the needs of the project.
