Server manufacturers will stump for Microsoft on Thursday, touting new customer wins and integration services for companies considering a move to Windows Server 2003.
During a San Francisco gala, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is slated to officially launch Windows Server 2003. Dell Computer, Hewlett-Packard and Unisys are among the server makers expected to share the stage with Ballmer.
All the companies are expected to position their products and services around new branding. Last week, Microsoft rebranded its line of server software Windows Server System. The move is similar to the company's rechristening its line of desktop productivity software Office System. Microsoft is hoping to put less emphasis on individual products and more on the concept of a "platform" upon which companies can build technologies suitable for their line of business.
