Even the major server hardware vendors interested in processor architecture ARM, which are already providing support for 64-bit software. Of course, the conservative corporate users hardly give up their familiar environment, but supporters of ARM-architecture in the server segment is a significant argument in the form of increased energy efficiency .
According to ARM representatives , in the server segment, the company hopes to have special software with open source. Freeware software, according to ARM, will perfectly complement a lower cost of processor-based servers with ARM-architecture. For budget and not encumbered stereotypes corporate users such arguments can be crucial when choosing a server platform. Large consumers, according to ARM representatives , still independently develop software, so open source for them will be an added advantage.
Openstack infrastructure is already adapted to the ARM-architecture, and Red Hat and Canonical are expected to finalize their operating systems for servers based on ARM processors next year.
