ARM LEBs
What do you think http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/07/09/boston_viridis_arm_server/?

$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OpenVZs ARM port is very out of date.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.

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
