"Micro servers offer an alternative approach to traditional servers for many applications," says Simon Stanley, research analyst for Heavy Reading Components Insider and author of the report. "They support higher densities, lower energy consumption and are more cost-effective than discrete servers, and the micro server approach can also be used for network appliances that integrate hardware or software for specific networking applications."
There are now multiple vendors with low-power processors that can be used in micro servers or network appliances, Stanley says. "All of these vender's have been in the processor business for a significant length of time and are making major investments into this market," he adds. "The micro server market is set to take off with several systems already available and a growing range of processors from multiple vendors."
Key findings of Low-Power Micro Server & Network Appliance Processors include the following:
- ARMv8 and low-power x86 cores are driving a new market in micro servers and network appliances.
- Web servers, IoT, cloud computing and SDN/NFV are key applications for micro servers and network appliances.
- Dell, HP and Kontron are leading with highly integrated micro server and network appliance solutions.
- ARMv8 and Linaro are key to ARM challenging Intel in the lucrative server market.
- Intel is responding to the ARM threat with eight-core Atoms and Xeon E3-1200 v3.
- MIPS is late to market, but "Warrior" may offer the opportunity for Imagination to challenge ARM and x86.
- This is a challenging time for vendors that support multiple architectures, such as ARM/x86, ARM/MIPS and ARM/PowerPC.
