Virtualization - Lehman Raises Its PC Estimates
Good Forecast for the Year 2008-2009

By: Maureen O'Gara
Jul. 28, 2008 02:15 PM

Based on Q2 results, the advent of low-end notebooks and the fact that the US market didn’t turn into an oil slick, Lehman Brothers has raised its worldwide PC forecast.

It expects 2008 to be up 15% from 11.5% (5% growth US, 15% Europe and 21% emerging markets) and 2009 to be 11.9%, up from 10.1%, (5% growth US, 12% Europe and 16% emerging markets) with Apple and HP the primary beneficiaries and pricing not keeping pace with unit growth.

It warns that assembly and transportation have got to be factored in to the vendors’ total cost. The broker figures 10 million netbooks will get off this year and assumes a 35% notebook cannibalization rate. It then estimates netbook sales of 23 million next year and the same cannibalization rate.

Doron Sherman wrote: Rahul, Weblogic Integration suite (WLI 8.1) and Websphere MQSeries Integrator provide graphical environments for integrating Webservices into flows, though they utilize pre-BPEL models for encoding processes. It is expected that some of these solutions will migrate to BPEL in the future. As you've indicated, Collaxa tools and server are built from the ground up on BPEL.
Doron Sherman wrote: Rahul, At the moment, commercial implementations of the BPEL specification (aka BPEL orchestration servers) are available on both J2EE and Dot-Net platforms. Dot-Net solutions include Microsoft BizTalk 2004 (beta) and OpenStorm ChoreoServer. J2EE solutions include IBM WebSphere and Collaxa BPEL Server. BPEL servers leverage J2EE app servers run-time environments, benefiting from the optimized thread pooling and other existing optimizations, rather than re-inventing the wheel. Choice of app server is useful if cost, for example, is an issue. Collaxa, for example, bundles the open source JBoss app server. If your goal is to integrate Java apps and Web services into the flow, it is prudent to examine the binding capabilities supported by the BPEL server, unless the Java apps already expose Web service interfaces.
rahul wrote: Hi, Its a very informative article. Thanks. I had a few questions: 1) Can you let me know the BPEL Servers available in the market. Do these need to be integrated with J2EE appservers or can they run as is if all I want to do is integrate a few Java applications and webservices to the flow. 2) How powerful are Weblogic Integration suite and Websphere MQSeries Integrator for integrating Webservices using BPEL. Also how easy is it to develop this kind of flow. Collaxa has a more pure BPEL product that seems easier for the above task. Thanks in Advance, Regards, Rahul
