Server sales fall through consolidation projects
Reseller News > Consolidation efforts slow server sales
“The effects of virtualisation, the emergence of multicore processing and other consolidation efforts are evident in server sales and market share numbers in IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly Server Tracker report for the third quarter, released Wednesday.”
As datacenter space becomes more of an issue, companies are holding off on buying more servers as consolidation either through virtualization or more effective use of your physical devices, means sales of new servers are slowing. I suspect there are a number of reasons for this, firstly, dual/quad core, intel/amd have been announcing their plans, their processor roadmaps, and some customers have been holding off on buying the latest server until they get the certain processor model they want (woodcrest for example), and secondly, virtualization and consolidation, can allow you to virtualize a development server to vmware and re-use/re-purpose the physical hardware. As with most things though, I suspect server sales will improve in the near future, particularly with grid and virtualization, even if you adopt the one in, one out scenario, there will always be a need for more powerful servers, bigger storage capacity etc.
