| | Dec/Jan 20176CIOReviewIn the not so distant past, servers housed entire software stacks and enterprise applications, which was not the case before. There weren't multiple resources to keep communications running smoothly between the operating system, the applications, and the database. All that has changed. In a short span of a few years, servers have evolved to smaller, generic, standards-based commodity computing platforms from large, UNIX-based systems.From the IBM AS/400 Advanced 36 Model 436 that exemplified server technologies in the 90s with one single-chip processor and nearly 18 W power, the world has come to point where it is witnessing midrange servers, such as the one offered by Dell (PowerEdge 420), that uses multicore processors at approximately five times the power. A single server now has the capacity to be a processing powerhouse, especially as companies try to add more and more cores to its processors. And, it won't be long before 128-core servers come into play. Meanwhile, for enterprises to meet with the growing demands, the next big move would be to match the server architecture with the workload of a firm. CIOs need to select the right server to support enterprise workloads. With business leaders looking for fast returns on their investments, what IT has to consider is the different set of technical requirements for varying workloads. From basic file-and-print, to high-end in-memory databases, matching the optimal server to a given workload can be challenging. Enterprises need to have thorough understanding of the ecosystem before choosing the right server for the right workload.At this interesting juncture, CIOReview presents to you the 20 Most Promising Server Technology Solution Providers 2016.
