Hardware market: prices and trends

A customer used to buy the hardware in one place and look for the people who would deploy it somewhere else. Now one team covers both parts: ETE handles servers, GPUs and networking, Vixen.UNO handles virtualisation, clouds and Kubernetes. The partner has 72 virtualised infrastructures and 42 cloud migrations behind it. Who does what, and what you can order together.

The partner page is run by the manufacturer itself, and the ETE listing is there: six areas of competence, from data center GPUs to Omniverse. The directory holds 714 companies, and only 68 of them cover the full set of these six, that is 9.5%. We go through what stands behind each area, why the listing carries no retail lines and what partner status gives the buyer in practice.
