The
Future of Servers for Midsize Businesses
Commodity-based hardware technologies will
play a major and defining role in future server architectures.
Budget-constrained enterprises are looking for means
to shave costs, not just incrementally, but dramatically.
This session looks at the potential renaissance that
could create dramatic cost savings, or chaos, in next
generation deployments. Key issues that will be addressed:
| • |
How
will commodity technology impact the server acquisition
process? |
| • |
What
will be the key disruptive technologies and where
are they on the hype cycle? |
| • |
What
will be the key delivery models and best practices
to maximize value and reduce TCO? |
The
Future of Windows Server
Windows is maturing as a general purpose
server operating system. However, Unix alternatives
remain strong, and Linux is growing in capability.
Competitive pressure and pricing, licensing and security
issues will continue to shape the future of Windows.
This session will examine how Windows is evolving
to address the needs of the market, and examine:
| • |
What
is the road map for Windows server, and how well
does it respond to market needs and trends? |
| • |
When
should users consider alternatives to Windows,
and how will this choice change in the future?
|
| • |
What
are best practices for deploying current and future
Windows server functionality? |
