Blade servers 'have bright long-term future'
20 Aug 2008
The long-term future of the blade servers market remains bright, according to new analysis from TheInfoPro.
According to the market analyst, enterprise organisations are expecting the technology to account for the majority of new installations in the coming years.
Some 46 per cent already believe that blade servers are either valuable or critical to achieving their current business objectives - although TheInfoPro notes that this represents a fall from the last time it conducted the survey.
But in the long term prospects for the sector are brighter with nearly four in ten respondents anticipating that, by 2010, blade servers will account for more than three-quarters of new installations.
Managing director of server research Bob Gill suggests that concern relating to the heat output from concentrated blade infrastructure has created the slightly dampened market conditions at the moment.
He notes that other issues, such as the implementation of virtualisation, have meant that "blade servers have been pushed to the back burner".
TheInfoPro previously revealed that many organisations are undertaking efforts to improve the quality of network access achieved by their end-users by investing in products and services to monitor end-to-end network performance..
