Paul, good article "Intel to launch major ISP strategy."
Interestingly, ISPs will also become an important market for generic "white box"
servers manufactured by Intel. The company currently sells one-, two-, and
four-processor servers in limited numbers. Sales will likely expand under the
program as ISPs will need to expand their own server banks, Swinnen said.
I wonder how these white box servers are packaged:
1. As nodes built into racks, maybe with RAID storage, fibre channel switches, UPSs, etc., but whose racks? Dell, Compaq, IBM?
2. As turnkey servers with "intel outside"? Never saw one of those.
3. ?
Do you know, Paul?
