Paul, Re: [from article]``We changed our thinking around that mission critical doesn't necessarily need to mean very advanced technologies,'' Symba said. Well, it's another step towards commoditization in servers, which is certainly a direction I'd prefer the company not take. What Intel really needs to do is sell up more to their high end offerings, and give businesses a reason to upgrade to the higher margin parts. It used to be that nothing was too fast when it came to servers, but here Dell proves that some people are not thinking this way. As long as this remains in the current low power, low cost, or otherwise price / performance conscious markets, it should be ok. It's when this catches on to larger business who turn down their back-end infrastructure in favor of cheap, low margin mini-servers running distributed networks, that we have to begin worrying about Intel stock. wbmw

Intel Extends Managed Hosting Services With New Automation Technology SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 19, 2001--Intel Online Services, Inc. today announced a new automated service technology that extends the company's managed services capabilities and adds remote management and other productivity improvements. The technology, known as Intel® Open Control Technology, gives customers and system integrators shared management and flexible control of e-Business solutions, whether they are located in an Intel Online Services data center, a customer data center or other third-party facility. The new patent-pending technology has been in development for the last several years at Intel. It includes a controller that allows hardware, operating system, applications, storage and network infrastructure to be managed as a single unit, called a ``customer pod.'' Intel Online Services manages the operations of that pod and works with the customer to automate routine and administrative tasks, such as repairing, troubleshooting and server provisioning. By utilizing the controller through a secure management Web portal, customers can view the status of their services and manage automated operational tasks. ``Enterprise customers have varying levels of information technology experience and want to outsource a range of e-Business integration, operations and management capabilities without losing control of their business,'' said Dalibor Vrsalovic, president of Intel Online Services. ``Our automation technology alleviates those fears by putting control back into the hands of the customer without compromising reliability or performance.'' Intel Open Control Technology is currently being piloted with several customers. The technology is a key ingredient in a new family of AppChoice(SM) Managed Services available in the first half of 2002.
