and apple is worth 19 dells.
apple is 2x microsoft! did that just happen today? and microsoft has been going up pretty well since december.
Why would an enterprise customer keep buying from that dinky little company, when they could have the security that comes with buying their mission-critical infrastructure from the world’s largest corporation?
Problem: Apple doesn’t provide hardware for mission-critical enterprise infrastructure anymore, since they axed the XServe line.
Mac Pros don’t cut it once you’re above the small-business level. They take up almost 7 rackspace units (and custom rack mounts), a huge waste of space. Mac Minis don’t cut it either above SMBs.
Even Apple doesn’t use its own hardware for mission-critical infrastructure. Analysis of pictures from within the iCloud datacenter (http://blog.fosketts.net/2011/06/06/datacenter-equipment-apple/) conclude that most are HP ProLiant servers and NetApp Filer storage arrays.
Now, Apple’s probably running a custom build of OSX, not available to the public, and of course Mac OSX Server is still available. But, your question was why enterprise would still buy from Dell, so you specifically meant hardware.
Google Finance says AAPL intraday high is 611.45 !??
Must have been a BAT glitch. 🙂
Yeah… It is *fixed* now (saved a screenshot just for fun).
Very strange…
In other news, Rob Enderle took a nap with his iPad in his lap. With all the heat it put out, he had pleasant dreams of Meg and Carly ironing his penis. Then he woke up to the reality of AAPL. Poor Rob. What’s the other analyst at the Enderle Grope going to think now? (I assume that since he calls himself “the principle analyst” that there’s more than one there.)
The other one is his wife (no joke). I’m sure she’s more aware then anyone what a f**k up he is.
With any luck, the heat from the device will render him sterile.
Unfortunately, if he was gonna spawn young uns, he already has.
The other member of the group may well be concerned, as it’s probably his wife!
