Stop overengineering!

To IT engineers: Please, please, PLEASE stop overengineering environments that don’t need to be so complex.

Before you create a dozen 40GB LUNs for VMware RDMs for “performance” on a 60 user site, before you change the default Citrix XML port because you think it will make it easier to track the traffic, before you tweak and change every setting – please stop and think: “Does this have any additional benefit or am I doing this because I think I should?”

Hint: The answer is usually no, it doesn’t have any additional benefit. So don’t do it.
