Kent,

I think that a color change for the text would be fine and follow the 
normal way a link is shown... in blue I think. Yea, those boxes are 
quite ugly and steal your focus from reading the text.

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure 
contains a definitive record of customers, application performance,
