During the past few decades, server systems have certainly evolved in many different ways. But in today’s terms, on-premises servers are still lacking in many ways. Certainly, many technology enthusiasts and CEOs are talk incorporating AI into servers. And that makes sense when you think about LLMs troubleshooting from the command line or providing a conversational aspect of the server system. However, that’s not what I’m talking about.
Right now, a tremendous opportunity exists in the market for a company to create a new line of server systems that would essentially replace Microsoft’s current server systems in a period of a few years. This is something that, for certain, could be done. And for good reason.
I don’t have anything against Microsoft. My professional expertise is in Microsoft products and primarily use Microsoft products. It’s a great company that has great employees. However, being a pioneer in a field, like information technology, also comes with its risks. And one of those is that someone, like myself, could think of a much better way of doing the exact same thing at a much lower cost.
Obviously, Linux has been around for quite some time now. And going back to the 1990s, much of the tech community was absolutely certain that Linux would take over the server market. In the cloud, on the internet, and on mobile devices that is certainly true. However, in the enterprise, Microsoft still dominates the server market, primarily because the Linux community has never really figured out a viable competitive strategy. That can, and certainly will, change very quickly.
The current situation with Microsoft’s domination of the server market is a problem for many businesses. Their server products are very expensive, you get more than what you want to pay for, they require a lot of training, and they’re trying to strong-arm everyone into their cloud. And everything seems to be getting much more expensive overtime. Not only that, Microsoft infrastructure is highly susceptible to cyber-attacks, including ransomware attacks, by design.
What if I told you that infrastructure could be designed that requires almost no effort to setup and configure, no effort to troubleshoot or recover, and would never be susceptible to ransomware attacks? This is the type of infrastructure the Federal government should be using. And it’s truly the type of infrastructure everyone should be using.
If such a competitor were to emerge in the server market, it could cut the price of on-premises server infrastructure by one tenth. And it would not be susceptible to ransomware attacks and many other types of attacks. You only buy what you need. And with the right investment, the right design, and the right leadership, these systems could be operational in a matter of months or within the year.
No doubt, this product is needed right away. And if you know of anyone who is interested (hum, Oracle, Google, Red Hat, or anyone else) and want to learn more, contact me. Let’s, once and for all, permanently fix the server market and get it off the headline news every day.
