A completely new computing platform is on the horizon. They’re called Microservers by some, ARM Servers by others, and sometimes even ARM-based Servers. No matter what you call them, Microservers will have a huge impact on the data center and on server computing in general.
Although few people are familiar with Microservers today, their impact will be felt very soon. This is a new category of computing platform that is available today and is predicted to have triple-digit growth rates for some years to come – growing to over 20% of the server market by 2016 according to Oppenheimer («Cloudy With A Chance of ARM» Oppenheimer Equity Research Industry Report).
