In a bid to get in front of an ever-evolving world and ever-changing environments, some of the smartest engineers built the first man-and-machine hybrid. When you first opened your eyes, it was to the astounded and exhilarated faces of those scientists and engineers and a room full of applause.
But that was just the beginning. Since then, you’ve been tasked with monitoring all the lands. It would have been an impossible task if you weren’t a hybrid of on-prem and cloud. This way, whatever the environment you’re monitoring, you always keep pace and adapt. Whispers follow you through the streets… as you pass, you hear them say, “there goes DPA.”
