Bit network ( ChinaByte ) 10 26 news , news sources, HP plans to sell servers using ARM technology, challenge Intel’s dominance in the server space. HP will work with Austin, Texas, company Calxeda develop ARM architecture chips, ARM is also part of the shares held by Calxeda. This is also the major vendors in the server space to support the development of ARM.

HP’s move will enable ARM and Intel competition, which now accounts for about 90% of the server chip market share. ARM target size of $ 9.0 billion into the server chip market to help businesses continue to expand the number of servers at the curb costs. However, in the server space, ARM’s layout has not yet started, while in the product stability, reliability, and carry business-critical applications, external skepticism.

ARM-based servers can be less demanding on computing performance areas of low-end servers place. However, the bit network survey found that although the data centers increasingly deploy low-power server, but the company may not intend to change the existing structure. Enterprise IT infrastructure business of the trust is high, except that the new structure is very reliable, they will not easily replace the server architecture. In addition to reliability, outside, ARM also need to be supported by a large number of applications.

ARM Vice President Michael Inglis (Michael Inglis) said in an interview last week: “Today one of the biggest servers is the power management.” But he said his company would not comment on the agreement were not disclosed. Calxeda spokeswoman Laura Baker (Laura Beck), also declined to comment on the agreement with HP. However, she said, Calxeda will be held November 1 product launch, but the future to disclose relevant details. HP spokesman Mike Garza Kerr (Michael Thacker) declined to comment.

If Calxeda design using chip technology used in mobile phones will be able to develop cheaper, less power server chips. Although Inglis refused to disclose specific customer, but said the chip based on ARM technology will first appear in the basic access to support site server, and then gradually into a more powerful system. He said: “2014 will see the emergence of such a system.”

Since 2008, ARM has repeatedly pledged to enter the server market, Marvell announced the ARM architecture is the first server chip companies. According to IDC, the server chip market revenue this year will reach about 90 billion U.S. dollars. This year, ARM’s share price has risen 39%, the company reported third-quarter profit more than doubled, revenue grew 22%. HP is its largest customer, accounting for revenue from HP’s ARM 19% of total revenue.
