Hello,



About ARM servers..


ARM servers are not for everyone. They could play a vital role in the 
Internet of tomorrow by providing cheap building blocks for 
infrastructure and handling niche server workloads. However, at the same 
time, I cannot escape the feeling that ARM servers tend to be overhyped.

Despite this, I don’t see them as a fad. I think they are here to stay, 
but vendors must carve out a few specific niches that can truly benefit 
from the new architecture.

In other words, we won’t see a lot of simple LAMP web hosting servers 
based on ARM, but we could see loads of them in more exotic niches (and 
some horribly boring ones). ARM processors could be a perfect fit for 
specific loads, especially those that can take advantage of a large 
number of small physical CPU cores, stuff that’s not CPU-bound. It might 
not sound like much, but this actually covers a lot of potential uses: 
data logging, large volumes of simple queries, certain types of 
databases, various storage services and so on.

I could go on, listing various use-cases, pros and cons of ARM servers, 
and potential problems, but at the end of the day, I suspect ARM server 
adoption will depend on good old cash. Technology aside, ARM servers 
will only make sense if the economic component checks out. In other 
words, they will have to offer a lot more bang for buck than x86 
processors if they are to justify their existence.
