Book excerpt: This story is a work of fiction. But at the same time, it isn’t. It’s a fantastical, hyper-sensationalized shadow of what may probably be a similar situation in your own career. IT organizations everywhere struggle daily to keep heads afloat in an ever-shifting sea of business requirements. New servers, new services, new lines of business — and all the while it’s the job of IT to keep technology running. That’s a hard job. This book’s fictional premise serves the purpose of telling what I hope is a really fun story. I mean, it’s not every day that puppies and garage doors get to meet in such… interesting ways. But surrounding that fiction is a parable every IT professional must come to accept: You can never have enough AWARENESS. It’s a little known fact, as Cliff Clavin from the old TV show “Cheers” would say, that the Shih Tzu once guarded Tibetan monks as they pursued greater awareness. Today, they will be helping us on our journey to greater application and data center awareness. The technologies driving our datacenters are more complex than they’ve ever been, and that complexity will only increase as the years go by. These days, no human alive can keep track of everything, all at once, unaided. Tools help, but tools are a means to an end. The tools and technologies that bring about better awareness are no different than your average hammer and saw. By themselves, they accomplish nothing. But in the hands of the right person, and with proper attention and care, they can accomplish just about anything. I encourage you to take a few minutes to absorb this short story. Enjoy it for the entertainment value it brings. And then, afterward, take another minute to reflect on the message behind the fiction. I’ve offered a few questions after each chapter to get you started. Your datacenter — and puppies everywhere — will thank you.
