Carly was such an awesome CEO that I left HP after a 12 years successful career. At least I don't live in Murica so I won't have to leave if she gets elected by mistake
is not freedom if you have no clue what to do with it (or what is it in the first place)
I used to be obsessed with free software, open source, freedom of this, freedom of that, and then I grew up, got myself a Personal Computer that does exactly what I need it to do, boots up in under few seconds when it needs to boot up, wakes up from sleep mode in fraction of a second, and I don't have to reinstall it every two weeks because I tinker with freedom stuff. And do I know what it has inside? No, and I don't care as long as it does what I need it to do (like write this post on/. or read your comments, or what ever I want to do with a Personal Computer at home).
That is the solution that i have implemented for our little environment that consists of about 50-ish solaris (8 and 10) servers, 80-ish windows servers, about 500 linux servers, and 40-odd cisco switches. Hobbit handles all host monitoring: availability, services, and a bunch of custom scripts written for it to check various aspects of our HPC grid, plus the SMS sending through an old nokia connected to the comm port of a solaris box. Smokeping is there to check latency, and cacti primarily for network traffic volume, and a custom module for FlexLM licenses. Works like a charm
