Las minicomputadoras son computadoras multiusuario diseñadas para estar entre los grandes sistemas mainframe y las pequeñas computadoras personales. Se hicieron populares en la década de 1960 debido al uso de circuitos integrados que permitieron tamaños más pequeños y mejoras en la memoria RAM que proporcionaron más recursos. Más tarde, los servidores poderosos reemplazaron a los mainframes y terminales, conectando computadoras personales a través de versiones multiplataforma de Unix y sistemas operativos de servidor como Windows.
Una estación de trabajo es un minicomputador de alto rendimiento destinado para trabajo técnico o científico. Se conecta a una red para que los usuarios puedan acceder a servidores y periféricos. Actualmente utilizan CPUs como Intel Xeon o AMD Opteron ejecutando Windows o Linux. Las estaciones de trabajo evolucionaron de versiones de bajo costo de minicomputadoras como VAX y adoptaron microprocesadores de 32 bits en lugar de procesadores multi-chip más costosos.

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?
