Servers are facing the same fate as PCs and mobile devices, with a growing number of them made in Asian countries like China and Taiwan, a Gartner analyst says.
Much like PCs and mobile devices, it's cheaper for companies to buy servers made in Asia than in the U.S., and buyers can get servers customized to meet their specific requirements, said Jeffrey Hewitt, an analyst at Gartner. Companies like #Google, #Facebook and #Amazon, which build mega data centers, design servers in-house and have them made in China or Taiwan.
#HPE, #Dell, #IBM, #Lenovo are also closely tying software and cloud services to their servers, Moorhead added. This includes #RedHat with #OpenStack, #Microsoft 's #Azure HybridCloud and #Nutanix, which is bundled in #Lenovo servers. Also bundled with some servers is software from #VMWare; Dell is in the process of buying #EMC, which owns VMware.
