But, though they are getting pretty fast, are still slower. You can get proper ARM servers: rack-mounted systems with all the trimmings you would expect from server class hardware: remote management, ECC RAM, PCIe expansion for high speed network and fibre storage connectivity, etc. We have about a dozen standalone ARM servers for product development and testing. They're mostly used as Docker hosts, and they work well enough for that. Good for when performance per watt is a higher priority than performance, but yeah, the Intel servers handily out-perform the best ARM has to offer in terms of raw performance. -- \m/ (--) \m/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@driftwood.blu.org https://driftwood.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
