Dell will roll out its first Xeon-based system, a year and a half after competitors debuted blades using Intel's best-selling server CPU, analysts said.
The market for blade servers has doubled in the past year and is expected to nearly double again in 2005, according to IT advisory firm Gartner. Gartner estimates blade-server revenue will total around $1 billion this year, up from $545 million in 2003, and will grow to about $1.7 billion in 2005. The market is expected to total more than $3 billion by 2009.
Dell's Xeon system will address the need for high processor density while at lower costs than traditional rack-mounted servers, says Tim Golden, director of Dell PowerEdge servers.
Analysts said Dell is likely make its mark in the blade-server market as it powers forward with volume shipment.
