This must have report will enhance your preparations for the future, as servers and blades move into very serious competition for the coveted carrier space of Next Generation Networks. We expect blades to represent 30% of the entire $9 billion server market by year-end 2010.
Less than a decade ago, pedestal servers dominated the market. Then, due to the ease by which rack-mounted servers, or “pizza box” servers, could be installed in racks, combined with their relatively low price, they have become the dominant form factor. However, due to energy considerations, thermal issues, reliability demands and manageability, blade servers have come to the fore. Blade servers can now make a strong case that the time has come for a new king of the data center to be crowned.
“Rock Paper Scissors: Will Pizza Boxes Beat Blades in Cyberspace” report contains:
-Detailed worldwide five-year revenue & shipment forecast of AdvancedTCA platforms (2008 – 2012)
-Detailed worldwide five-year revenue & shipment forecast of IBM BladeCenter HT platforms (2008 – 2012)
-Detailed worldwide five-year revenue & shipment forecast of NEBS (Telco) Blades (2008 – 2012)

“When the telecommunications industry began looking seriously at blade servers it was at the same time that PICMG was developing the AdvancedTCA standard somewhere around the 2003 timeframe,” said chief analyst Ernie Bergstrom. “Now the AdvancedTCA platform brings numerous configurations for consideration. However, because the price for AdvancedTCA blades are two to three times more expensive than rack-mounted servers, the question becomes why should one move to ATCA blades or other bladed platforms.”
