DevOps marketing from CA

CA does a pretty good job with their DevOps marketing. The company takes a “solution” approach (explains how existing products fit together to satisfy a complex, suite-needing problem).

Here’s their latest marketing fineness.

Timing the DevOps market

DevOps Marketing Timing – a wild swag for your entertainment from Michael Coté

Cloud service providers in their many forms drive an astonishing 35 percent of server CPU revenues for Intel, and these customers are the first ones to drive the company to offer customized chips. This year, 23 percent of server CPU chips bought by cloud service providers will be custom, and Intel expects it to be more than half of server chips purchased by cloud companies in 2015. Intel has roughly 100 standard Xeon and Atom SKUs at any time, but this year did 35 custom SKUs on top of that, compared to 15 custom chips a year ago.
