Their strategy was flawed, however, because they focused on lowering the cost of PCs rather than where the real opportunity likely resided: increasing performance and productivity for those who needed both and were willing to pay for it. Change is expensive and if you chase people who don’t have money, you’ll likely find, like Oracle and Sun did, that they aren’t thrilled with the idea of paying more up front with the hope of getting some kind of lower operating cost going forward. Worse, users have never been willing to trade performance for IT cost and will Top Trends Driving the complain up a blue streak if forced down that road. Data Center in 2015 Well Dell, VMware and NVIDIA this week launched a very different kind of solution, the first ISV- certified virtual workstation appliance solution. And it is nothing short of amazing. What is fascinating is that they are demonstrating a strategy that is the opposite of what Sun and Oracle envisioned, yet they have companies literally lining up to use it and toss out those old PCs (well, workstations) for something much, much better.

    Mobile Internet forcing computers to evolve 12 December 2012, by Glenn Chapman based on the Windows 8 software released in October. "I don't think the PC is going away," said analyst Rob Enderle of Enderle Group in Silicon Valley. "What is clear is we are going through some turmoil; the market is resetting itself around new products." While people opt for tablets instead of laptops for computing on the move, they will yearn for bigger screens and more processing power when they settle down for "real work," according to analysts.

  • The Duel Over Dual
    The Duel Over Dual By Ken Schachter, 10:42 AM EDT Thu. May. 11, 2006 In August 2005, Advanced Micro Devices invited about 30 channel partners to a demonstration at its Austin, Texas, headquarters. Technicians placed a box with one dual­core processor next to another with two single­core processors. They were running the same routines. Jaws dropped as the dual­core machine scorched the two­processor machine, recalled Jason Voncordsen, general manager of Bass Computers, who was at the demonstration. "We were amazed because it was close to twice as fast," he says. That presentation and others have been taken to heart by builders and resellers. In their ongoing battle with the titans of the computer industry, makers and marketers of generic "white­box" servers say dual­core processors have become a vital arrow in their quiver. Call it the duel over dual. Just how big a dent have dual­core processors made in the server market? Dual­core servers accounted for roughly 3 percent of x86 server sales and 6 percent of white­box server sales in 2005, according to IDC research analyst Jed Scaramella. Those numbers, however, represent only the first wave of a long multicore tide, vendors and analysts say. Bill Carr, CEO of B3 Computers, a builder of white­box machines running Sun Microsystems' Solaris, says dual­core systems accounted for three­quarters of recent server sales. Scaramella notes that, while AMD rolled out its dual­core Opteron processor in April 2005, Intel didn't counter with the first of its dual­core versions of the Xeon chip until that September.

  • Modular Computing: the Next Generation of Personal Computing Rob Enderle
    © 2002 Giga Information Group, Inc. Copyright and Material Usage Guidelines April 16, 2002 Modular Computing: The Next Generation of Personal Computing Rob Enderle Giga Position Performance is no longer driving the market, users increasingly need their technology to be where they are and the market is stagnating because potential customers no longer see the need for staying current with their technology. Handheld computers are promising but generally too limited to be stand-alone devices. Smart phones are connected, but even more limiting for computing tasks than handheld computers. Devices that try to do both generally result in a screen that is too small and a phone that is too big. There is a growing perception that combining the two in a modular approach can provide a phone of the right size and a connected handheld computer without the negatives of a combined device. This same modular approach foretells the next iteration of the personal computer ¾ a device assembled from modules that can change personalities from small and portable to desktop, to full-size laptop without incurring the lasting negatives of any design. It will be a configuration that can be updated in components, where the buyer only has to upgrade the part that is out of date without wasting money and harming the environment by disposing of parts that are still serviceable. And it will be a concept that provides for a single image covering all employees that can be inexpensively and quickly updated simply by replacing the core module. It will be a solution that can move from the living room, to the automobile, to the airplane and to the office by morphing into the productivity device, entertainment device and communication tool ¾ whichever is ideal for each environment.
