HP Doubles ProLiant Blade Density, Ships Entry Tower Server
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
It was not that many weeks ago that Brad Anderson, general manager of Hewlett-Packard's Industry Standard Server Group, said to me that the pursuit of increasing density in blade servers becomes a gimmick after a certain point. But the fact remains that rival IBM has been able to get more blades in a box than HP, and this has helped the company ramp up volumes in this nascent part of the server market at a rate that now exceeds that of HP. Gimmick or not, HP has to do something. READ MORE >

Dell to Push VMware ESX Server on X86 Servers
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
If you don't own your own operating system stack and you don't own your own hardware architecture, you have to partner to bring all of your technologies to market. This is something that Dell is a master of, and it is one of the few companies that has minimized research and development costs while at the same time profiting off of industry standard hardware and software. That's why Dell's announcement that it would be going to the VMware unit of EMC for its server virtualization software is not a surprise. Dell has neither the time, money, nor inclination to invent its own virtual machine partitioning. READ MORE >
