PC Pro on Boston's low power ARM server!

Posted on 15 August, 2012

PC Pro are the latest high profile industry publication to report on the revolutionary Boston Viridis and how ARM-based servers are ready to take the server market by storm!

With contributing quotes from Ian Ferguson, director or server systems at ARM, and our very own Neil Kalsi, Sales Manager, the experts also discuss how the cost of running ARM servers could be dramatically cheaper, benefiting power-hungry data centres and big data organisations:

"More and more, it's about how much power is being consumed - people can be limited by how much actual power they can get into their buildings,""said Neil Kalsi, sales manager at Boston. "We're having discussions with people that are talking of gigawatt feeds, and still being hampered by what they can do."
