Enterprise Organizations Indicate a Hazy Short-term Future for Blade Servers, Though Brighter Longer Term

Enterprise Organizations Indicate a Hazy Short-term Future for Blade Servers, Though Brighter Longer Term – New Research from TheInfoPro

Nearly 40% of enterprise organizations project that over 75% of all new servers installed in 2010 will be blade-based.

NEW YORK, NY, August 18, 2008 – TheInfoPro (TIP), www.theinfopro.$ST_net, an independent research network and leading supplier of market intelligence for the Information Technology (IT) industry, today announced that by 2010, providers of blade servers will see a huge turnaround in a market that’s currently stagnant and that has witnessed a steady softening in demand over the past year. According to Wave 6 of the Servers Study, 31% of respondents currently express that they are skeptical and have little interest in blade servers or that blade servers don’t apply to them. However, by 2010, nearly 40% of enterprises project that over 75% of all new servers installed will be blade-based.

“Because of the recent focus on reducing data center carbon footprints and the implementation of virtualization to accomplish this reduction, blade servers have been pushed to the back burner” says Bob Gill, Managing Director of Server research for TheInfoPro. “The increased density of blades, coupled with concerns over environmental issues such as concentrated heat output, are among the key reasons that organizations have put off procuring blade servers.”

Key highlights on the state of the current blade server market:

Forty-six percent (46%) of Server pros believe that blades are critical or valuable to their current business objectives, which is far lower than the 58% in Wave 5. The percentage that said that blades didn’t apply or that they had no interest continued to hover at around 25% of the respondent base, as users continue to take a “wait and see” attitude toward blades.
The percentage of end users that do not see a role for blades over the long term remains 25%, rather than having diminished over time. It’s important to note that 124 enterprises participated in the blade research this wave, eliminating the possibility for small-sample bias.
The market for blades remains largely untapped, with 20% reporting that none are currently installed and with another 25% indicating that blades make up between 1% and 5% of all servers.
Key highlights on the future of the blade server market:

Longer term, the prospect for blades brightens, with nearly 40% of enterprises projecting that over 75% of all new servers installed in 2010 will be blade-based.
While over 40% report that they currently do not have any blades hosting virtualization, nearly 40% expect that over 75% of their blades will be virtual hosts by 2010.
