Can Apple Penetrate the Corporation?

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday February 27, 2007 @10:32AM from the awareness-gap dept.

coondoggie sends us a NetworkWorld story on the prospects for Apple gaining market share in the corporation. A number of factors are helping to catch the eye of those responsible for upgrading desktops and servers, the article claims: "Apple's shift to the Intel architecture; the inclusion of infrastructure and interoperability hooks, such as directory services, in the Mac OS X Server; dual-boot capabilities; clustering and storage technology; third-party virtualization software; and comparison shopping, which is being fostered by migration costs and hardware overhauls associated with Microsoft's Vista." On this last point, one network admin is quoted: "The changes in Vista are significant enough that we think we can absorb the change going to Macs just as easily as going to Vista."

"...the prospects for Apple gaining market share in the corporation."

There's only one corporation now? Geez, all t his merger mania's been worse than I thought.

On the other hand, all Apple has to do is convince one CIO, and their in!
