Companies Want to Cut Down on OS Platform Sprawl
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
One of the major drivers of the server business these days is server consolidation. By this, vendors generally mean that companies have installed dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of individual servers to run distinct workloads, and now that servers are less expensive, they are consolidating some of these workloads onto bigger ones. Having fewer physical servers lowers the absolute cost of server administration for companies. But if research from Unisys is any indication, platform consolidation may be the next big thing.

Microsoft Puts Host Integration Server 2004 into Beta
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Microsoft may want to take over the world, but it knows there is no way to easily unseat the umpteen trillions of lines of code that are wrapped around OS/400 and z/OS servers from IBM and their unique implementations of the DB2 relational database.
