ABSTRACT

LIKE THE REST OF THE COMPUTING INDUSTRY, THE SERVER MARKET IS changing at what is apparently an ever-increasing rate. Fortunately this change can be understood, planned for, and, most significantly, taken advantage of by clever network managers. The key is understanding both what one’s medium-term, 12 to 18 months out, needs are going to be and what is coming down the pipe from the industry so one can try to match them up.
