Every project needs a name

In the first two posts, I have loosely referred to this project as a "comprehensive enterprise monitoring solution". Not a great name. So I've thought of a better one. By tying the acronym for Enterprise Monitoring (EM) with a word which describes what the human equivalent of system monitoring is all about, we get "Empathy -- How do your systems feel?" Ok, the catch phrase could use a little work. This is more than a Systems monitoring solution. It's got to include applications, services, and devices as well. But it sounded good.

So effective immediately, when I refer to "this project", I'll be calling it the "Empathy Project", or just plain "Empathy".
