Channel partners report that organisations are looking to take
advantage of the latest server technology with a more rapid
adoption cycle than seen in the past. Ultimately – despite
increasing competition from the cloud – server sales particularly
within the SMB market, will remain a key component of your
portfolio for some time to come.
Conclusion
These include
concerns about security,
data location, latency or the
complexity of moving certain
workloads to the cloud.
Despite the growth of
cloud services
there are a number of significant reasons
why customers prefer to use servers.
As a result, a sizeable amount of
processing will remain on-premise
or in the data centre for the
foreseeable future.
