Low energy and high trend arm server products will emerge in large numbers

How do the server manufacturers react to arm's foray into the server market?

Arm as a smart http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/28211.html "> Mobile chip market leader in the server sector is also eyeing, November 3, 2011, Calxeda released the first server chip Energycore based on the arm architecture.

On the same day that Calxeda officially announced Energycore, Hewlett-Packard officially announced that it would launch a low-power server running ARM architecture. HP claims that by using an arm-structured processor, it will save 89% of energy and 94% of the space, and that the cost can be reduced to 63% of the traditional server system.

In February 2012, Hewlett-Packard's first arm server product came out with a 288-arm processor Calxeda in a 4U rack, sharing power, cooling and management systems. Calxeda processor, also known as Energycore, uses arm CORTEX-A9 architecture, the frequency in 1.1GHz, and 1.4GHz. 4M cache, 80GBPS fiber exchange, only 1.5W of energy consumption.

Now Dell also announced the launch of ARM server products, arm into the server market is increasingly clear footsteps. Dell said the company had a plan to manufacture ARM architecture servers a year ago, but it is far from being ready to launch the actual product because the software is still immature in part.

HP's first ARM server product is far from the real product of Dell's arm servers, and the latest news was that the first customers could be tested in the first half of 2012. HP will set up a lab in the second quarter of this year for designated customers to test the first batch of Low-power server products that use ARM processors. Early customers will be mainly for the concept of low energy consumption verification, access to the HP Redstone new platform under the Low-power series server products.

In addition to HP, Dell also announced the launch of ARM server products, arm into the server market is increasingly clear footsteps. Dell said the company had a plan to manufacture ARM architecture servers a year ago, but it is far from being ready to launch the actual product because the software is still immature in part.

Arm Cmoiandrew said in Taipei that some people feel that arm's foray into the server industry is madness, but now it looks like they're all wrong because after so many years of hard work, a new ecosystem is emerging.

He also pointed out that the industry is changing, low power and high-performance computing will become a new market trend, the second half will certainly see more arm server products.
