Abstract
Cisco' s foray into the server market, the merger between Oracle and Sun
Microsystem, the acquisition of Fujitsu Siemens Computers by Fujitsu, and the
acquisition of Silicon Graphics International by Rackable Systems have stirred
the equilibrium in the worldwide computer system industry in 2009. The
industry is expected to see more companies engage in horizontal and vertical
cooperation. Looking ahead to 2010, as the effects of the global financial
crisis continue to be felt, the industry is expected to face changes within
the next two to five years resulting from Moore' s Law, virtualization, and
cloud computing. The computing centralization effect stemming from cloud
computing will intensify the competition in the green data center segment.
Virtualization, energy-saving, and cloud computing are to lead to more
acquisitions and mergers in future.
