Cooking up a recipe for networking computing

Abstract

Maintains that creating organisational networks for linking up PCs based upon Windows and Intel microprocessors will shortly be a relatively expensive option, and forecasts the growth of stripped down PCs as network devices working with servers across networks. Details the differences between the two sorts of systems, and presents figures for the forecast increase in shipments of the cheaper network devices. Notes the increasing use of the Internet as a driving force, and sees the service providers increasingly establishing dedicated virtual networks for individual businesses.
