Executive
Summary The
Next Tsunami in Modular Computing, using blade servers and clustering technology, is creating the next Tsunami in computing and communications that portends to drastically revamp the existing client/server landscape. Its impact on end-to-end computing and internet infrastructure will be truly profound. The four
waves in modular computing in the next five years, namely, High Availability
(2002-03), Scalability (2003-04), Virtualization (2004-05) and Application
Tuning/ Performance Enhancements (2004-06), will radically change the
economics of computing and web services, according to Anil Vasudeva Blade Servers' attractiveness stems from the volume-driven economics achieved through using industry standard high-volume 2, 4 and 8+ way SMP compute elements. These elements can be configured into various telecom, networking, servers or storage modules.
