THWACK Monthly Mission - August Mission

They say all good things must come to an end, including our summer daze. It’s now time to make sure you’ve got your lunchbox packed up and shoes tied tight as we get ready for another year of getting smart. But don’t worry, we plan to have some fun along the way. And no, we’re not talking about the large purple dinosaur type of fun; this will be a journey like no other, as we’re kicking off this new school year by taking you through our exciting SolarWindsTm Academy.

 Don’t be too nervous—instructors aren’t handing out dunce caps or detention slips here; instead, they’re going to take you on a fun-filled, mystical journey to help you achieve the most from your monitoring solution. So don’t think of them as mean AND boring teachers!

 Think of them as the cool teachers who don’t mind you being a few minutes late or if you chew some gum in class as long as it doesn’t distract the others. So now we’ve gotten all that handled, the only thing left for you to do before starting this conversation is to solve the following math problem…

Oh, who am I kidding? Who really enjoys math anyways?
