iSuppli Report: Blade Servers to sell like pancakes!

The blade server is a very young technology, tracing its roots back only six years. To fulfill the needs of dot-com technology providers, Houston-based RLX Technologies—now part of Hewlett-Packard Co.—shipped the first blade server in March 2001. Due to disappointing sales, a number of vendors did not refresh their initial blade server product lines. However, Hewlett-Packard and IBM continued to introduce new generations of blade server products that were increasingly suitable for enterprise clients. As the blade server platform began to gain traction, Dell Inc. and Sun Microsystems Inc. rejoined the market at the end of 2006.

iSuppli defines the blade as a modular server based on a single motherboard incorporating microprocessor(s), memory and network interface. However, the blade may omit a number of components in order to free up space and to reduce power consumption, along with other considerations. The result is a server platform that when combined with other blades, can be physically arranged in an extremely dense way.

Redhot Future Of IT Part I :Marketing yourself as IT professional

I had promised about the "RedHot IT Future Series" and so we discuss here how you should market yourself EFFECTIVELY as an IT professional in this new (and dangerous) web age! Web is the place where you're a hero today and villain tomorrow. While there are lots of professionals who are active on the web, not all are enjoying a good reputation as they got "personal" with others and got into a cockfight. The passive IT professional has nothing to lose but nothing to gain at all!

I know "marketing" might seem as a greasy term but the idea is to have the truth about you out there. You know you're a good person and your family knows that you're really smart person but the rest of the world doesn't!

So the question is how do I market myself on the web as a true "nouveau IT professional". A guy who companies will be tempted to pick up the phone as say "Hey, we wanna talk with you. Can you fly over to Palo Alto (or Guatemala or Johan…
