Network Management Isn’t Dying, It’s Just Fading Away

Dear reader; thank you for your patience and support as I retire from being your Thresholds editor. I leave you with yet another controversial article; one that I trust will provoke thought and introspection. Our industry has continued be an adopter of new concepts and software technology. As our efforts focus more on embedded software solutions. I implore you not to lose sight of the innovative tradition we created. Don’t become timid in the face of the hardware design bullies. Developing trustworthy software is as much an intellectual challenge as any design activity. Godspeed.
