First it was the IBM mainframes running all apps in one single and huge data center, then it came the Distributed Computing putting apps to the branches in the 90's, server-consolidation has been sweeping the field in the last few years, and now Citrix and MS are saying putting all apps back at the branches?
While this exercise is good in keeping IT people busy, fit, and their jobs, WAN OP vendors fat, did anyone actually do the math on the Return-on-investment?
Does this explain our witness to the recently hit-up industrial consolidation in the WAN Optimization market? It would be interesting to check and track all these vendors' report cards in all quarters of 08' :-)
