While the developed world sees PCs more or less as consumables, for the rest of the world a PC costs half a year's salary. The problem is that the IT industry is already sitting on a mountain of inefficiency, largely created by its own technological success. "The improvements in price performance you would get in one year were so great, the storage improvement alone was so attractive in itself, that people did not exploit stuff, it was easier to be wasteful," says Egge. With space and power at a premium, the hope is that businesses will begin to look at IT in the same way that they have looked at areas such as supply chain management, according to Chris Gabriel, head of solutions marketing at integration IT provider Logicalis.
