    $1000 for an ARM server? No thanks, i prefer the Raspberry PI :)

    Hmmm I agree that the price is too high but the CPU is slightly different than in R-Pi http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/11/01/calxeda_energycore_arm_server_chip/.
    But you know 48 nodes per 4U (12nodes [servers] per 1U) it's better density than blade servers.

  • seems interesting, the power consumption should be lower than "traditional" alternatives

    If it comes to compare with lebs, I am sure a serious 1U server can provide more than just 12 VPSes and at higher specs than those. As for power, that depends, but i dont expect it to be so clear-cut.

  • OpenVZs ARM port is very out of date.

    @Maounique - 1 node = 1 physical server with 1.4GHz 32bit quad core CPU, 4GB RAM, 2x10GE network ports and 4 SATA

    @MrLadoodle - I would think rather running Xen Cluster than OpenVZ

    Possibly.

    I stand corrected, I saw an earlier version of sorts a few months ago, but this is a different animal.

    According to Karl Freund, vice president of marketing at Calxeda, these on-board BMCs burn anywhere from one to four watts of juice and have an average manufacturing cost of $28 per node, so integrating this on the chip cuts down on both power consumption and costs for large-scale server clusters.
    

    Whenever they get to that point, that's when it'll get quite interesting!

    So the manufacturing costs are $28 per node, and they sell it at $1000 per node? Nice margin...

    that's called BUSINESS

    @Damian = "The dozen processor cards including memory burn only 300 watts." - still nice
    @rds100, @netomx - "A fully loaded Viridis server including the dozen cards (that's 48 processors and 192 cores) with a total of 192GB of main memory and two dozen disks costs $50,000." - for such large environments it's still cheap
