1) What is the realistic impact of virtualization on your business? Are you looking to consolidate applications on fewer more robust servers, or are you planning to run more servers with few applications running on each?

2) Do you run UNIX based Servers?
Are you planning to continue running Unix applications, or are you looking to run applications that are being ported to run on Linux or Windows based X86/x64 based servers?

3) Are you looking to run your server disk storage on the servers themselves, or are you more likely to run your storage from a SAN?

4) Is the advent of dual and quad core CPUs creating a buying shift where 2 socket servers will be replaced by 1 socket servers?
And also 4 socket servers being replaced with 2 socket servers?
