news.com Related, but different, thin servers The new "thin server appliances" should not be confused with thin servers, which are a different class of single-function servers, targeted at industrial-strength applications such as Web hosting and telecommunications applications. Internet service providers or the information technology departments of large companies are the primary users of such servers. Intel is working with companies such as Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Novell, and Oracle for that market, which will represent the largest portion of a $16 billion market by 2002, Dataquest said. Intel has formed the Server Appliance Design Guide to hammer out uses for thin servers that don't use Windows. Intel is hoping to come up with a set of hardware and software guidelines so corporations can standardize their equipment. Other similar efforts include Oracle's "Raw Iron" effort, which is an attempt to create a new market for database server appliances that can lower overall operating costs and simplify administration. The plan is also intended to blunt Microsoft's push into the enterprise software market.
