“A new power base in consumer markets, along with open
source platforms and mass commoditisation, will drive the server
market through the next decade, according to IDC.”
“IDC analyst Debra Goldfarb said at the researcher’s conference
this week that scalable architectures and clustering technologies,
along with language recognition, will be important areas of
research.”
“Goldfarb predicted that within the next 10 years, Intel’s IA-64
will cross over Risc, followed by an emerging technology called
microsystems which will subsequently cross over IA-64. IDC defines
microsystems as the migration of server functionality onto
silicon.”
