Big servers are on the way back. That's because data managers are now realizing that separating computing tasks may not be the best choice. bigger servers are returning to the data center in hopes of bringing more robust storage and more functionality back into data storage. One expert says that the sales of smaller servers probably won't make their projected jump of 61 percent, but rather will only grow by 39 percent by 2010.
Some of the standout products include Sun Microsystems' new server-filled cargo container that serves as an instant data center. Rackable Systems released their cargo container solution a few weeks earlier. Liquid Computing boasts a server that can house up to 80 processors.
The push for bigger is on. How this will affect the small server market will depend on how much space a company has and how much one really believes that bigger is better.
