HP met with securities analysts in the first week of June to report that it has a plan for grabbing more market share in business desktops: let the business users access their files and data from a centralized server. The HP approach is a little more advanced than that, but HP is positioning its blade computing strategy as a way to make PC resources go further in an enterprise. Users access blade computing in the HP plan, but not all at once, so the amount of processing a company needs to purchase can be reduced. HP has offered such “thin client” thinking in the past, and its competitors Sun and Oracle gave the concept a big effort at the end of the last decade. HP plans to introduce new technology within the next year that will change the market’s appetite for what some HP 3000 managers might recall as “diskless computing.”
