Server Market Is Solid in Q1, Says Gartner
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The first quarter of any year is not usually one to brag about, but in 2005, the first quarter was not so bad. Not only were worldwide server shipments up by 10.7 percent to 1.745 million units, according to the box counters at IT market researcher Gartner, but aggregate revenues were also up by 4.1 percent to $12.33 billion. If server sales are any indicator of stability in the IT market, then the IT recovery we saw in late 2003 and through 2004 is under way. READ MORE >

Apple Said to Be Considering a Switch to X86 from Power
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
As if IBM didn't have enough to worry about this week as it tries to reassure Wall Street that its miss in the first quarter was a hiccup that it has under control, the Wall Street Journal reported this week that Apple is considering a move to chips made from Intel as the heart of its line of PCs, laptops, and servers. If IBM had not been thinking of buying Apple in the wake of the sale of its PC business to Lenovo, it might be wishing it had about right now. READ MORE >

Are We There Yet? Perspectives on the Future of IT
by Dan Burger
Science fiction sometimes has a way of becoming science fact. If someone doesn't dream about it, chances are it isn't going to come to pass. Sure, there are some great accidental discoveries, but many of those were discovered because someone was on his or her way to where no one had ever gone before. John Hogan is a 60-year-old futurist with a deep understanding of information technology and business goals. His forecast for the future reflects great changes, but is tempered by a present-day realism rather than great leaps of faith. READ MORE >

Getting from here to there, reliably
From point A to point B, sometimes through point C and oftentimes on to D or E, more than 200,000 passengers a day count on ANA to get them to their destinations on time.

And behind this benchmark of punctuality, working away millisecond by millisecond, is HP technology. Find out more.
