Infoworld thinks,with nearly every purchase, IT decision-makers place bets large and small on one technology versus another. They might try to minimize risk and cover their bets with a backup strategy, but at key points choices must be made: Which among competing technologies will have the lowest total cost of ownership? Is the technology suited for the long haul? Will the benefits promised by a new technology outweigh the disruption of replacing an old one? Infoworld makes an interesting assessment of the competing technologies.
Likely Battles ahead:
- Windows vs. Linux front,
- Software as a service vs. conventional software;
- Centralized vs. distributed data;
- Blades vs. big SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) systems;
- Fibre Channel vs. iSCSI; and more.
Lets add a few more – Consolidation vs Federation, Web 2.0 Vs Conventional web applications, Composites Vs Monolithic applications, Conventional Search Vs Prospective Search etc.
