Agenda 2001
Explanatory Notes
The entire I/T industry has contributed to this -- an unavoidable consequence of evolutionary I/T progress.
Examine the opportunities for complex interactions and decisions: multiply "tuning adjustments" that can be made across the many servers and applications of a typical system, and you come up with a ridiculously large number - 1020. Some databases alone have so many options that the instruction manuals for tuning them run over 1,000 pages!
What's the answer? More complexity. But how can that help?
We need to embed it in the infrastructure and then automate it. We find a useful biological metaphor in the autonomic nervous system of the human body.
