 This presentation will discuss the shape, form, contour and parts of the future server. The session will cover technology enhancements in the next few years, vertical and horizontal scaling trends; including the impact of cloud computing on the server, future of blades and RISC architectures, the context-sensitive OS, the impact of virtualisation and vendor competitive dynamics. |
Key Issues:
|
- How much change will drive next generation servers and what user benefits will result?
- How will the market and IT procurement absorb a continuing array of innovations affecting lifecycle management and useful life?
- How will the role of the server evolve in the increasingly virtual world of the future?
