A blade server industry group founded by IBM and Intel is predicting three key trends that will reshape the data center: network convergence with Ethernet technology; advanced energy efficiency techniques such as water cooling; and “hyper consolidation” involving both virtualization and blade servers.

Blade.org, which is hosting a technology symposium in New York Thursday, predicted the disappearance of separate I/O lanes for data networking, storage traffic and interprocess communications. (Compare storage products.) Today each lane requires its own adapters, connectors and wires. Network convergence will end that, Blade.org says.

Check out this article talking about the Blade.org Symposium, it’s an interesting read and it’s always great to see what other people think.
