Dell to show its first 64-bit ARM server this week |
October 29, 2013
Dell will give its first public demonstration of a 64-bit ARM server this week, the latest step in an industrywide effort to build servers based on low-power chips like those used in smartphones.
Dell will show a server based on a 64-bit ARM processor from AppliedMicro running the Fedora version of Linux and hooked up to a storage system from PMC-Sierra, Dell said.
It plans to show the system at ARM’s annual TechCon conference in Santa Clara, California, which kicks off Tuesday, and it aims to have a system with the AppliedMicro chip ready for “proof of concept” testing by customers in early 2014.
“This is a key milestone for customers seeking to run real-world workloads on 64-bit ARM technology,” Dell executive Robert Hormuth will announce in a blog post this week, according to a copy of the post sent to IDG News Service.
