Market research from hardware to external media servers (1)

According to a recent market research by Gabriel Advisory Group in Beverly ton, Oregon, about the server vendors preferred by IT managers and data center managers, most of the respondents performed like Fred White in the "bad world. like BUTLER: Frankly speaking, they don't complain.

 

IT managers are good people

Only 200 of the 5% respondents surveyed use products of a single vendor. Another 23% of users interviewed use products from two vendors. 32% of respondents configured servers from three vendors, and more than 32% of respondents deployed products from four original equipment manufacturers in their IT department. The servers of the remaining 8% of users interviewed come from five or more vendors.

"Users will not standardize X86 systems of special brands." Dan, Principal Consultant of Gabriel consulting and Consulting Group. "only a few users use products from an X86 system provider on a regular basis, although other vendors are trying to attract them, such as taking economic incentives, it is easier to process system management tools for large-scale servers and implement blade servers locked by multiple vendors ".

There is no absolute winner in this X86 server field, which may be the indicator of product commercialization.All vendors also use AMD and Intel processors, the same random memory and hard disk. All their efforts to simplify management to attract users to stick to their brands are obviously being ineffective.. It seems that price is the key driver.
