I think the key thing to remember is that your definition of “network” and the user’s are quite different. You have a very well defined idea of what the network is, and it’s very easy to become defensive when you hear those dreaded four words! The user on the other hand considers anything and everything not on his own computer to be the “network”! The printer, the server, the website, the intranet, email, EVERYTHING is the “network” from the user’s point of view. Don’t get hung up on words!

This is true Gerry… so very true!

I just recently starting using a Riverbed AppResponse Xpert appliance and I’m really liking it although I think there’s a lot more potential there that I need to unlock (time for training).

Cheers!
