Manufacturers of Servers
Public Clouds mean that organizations are not buying, or buying fewer
servers, so it's logical that all the major server manufacturers, HP, Dell, IBM,
Oracle‐Sun, have invented a counter‐measure called: Private Cloud!
Increasingly, Public Clouds leaders are building their own specialised servers,
based on their specific technical characteristics. In 2011, Google was part of
the club of the five major manufacturers of servers, and 100% of them were
for internal usages. Virtualising the remaining servers which are still needed
for core business applications will further reduce the number of servers
purchased.
