Micro server won the data center place?

Under the impact of cloud computing model, the server market presents new features. One of the notable changes is the rise of micro-servers. What is micro-server? Micro server is different from the common feature of the most common server is low power consumption, usually microserver will use the ARM architecture processor chip or Intel's ATOM processor.

The massive popularity of cloud computing makes http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13999.html "Workloads feature lightweight and parallelizable, especially for large-scale Web applications such as CDN, Situation, the use of general-purpose server in the power consumption and cost is too wasteful.Microsoft server in such applications more and more prominent role, power and cost advantages are self-evident.

Microservices are emerging as a new force in the server market and mainstream server vendors such as Hewlett-Packard and Dell have begun testing microserver products. Upstream chip makers such as Intel are also innovating their ATOM chips, while AMD will introduce 64-bit ARM processors next year. Application providers such as RedHat and Novell have also introduced enterprise Linux distributions for ARM-based processors. Micro-server ecosystem is taking shape, the future micro-server will be a new growth point in the server market.
