14 DAY TRIAL // Dell has announced that it is now pledging more support for innovations regarding the development of ecosystems for ARM-based servers.
ARM-based servers are making a push into mainstream, and Dell has spotted the increased interest of the customers into this technology. According to the company, the ARM server technology has been tested internally since 2010.
“Dell is delivering this same innovation focus to the ARM server market, working hand-in-hand with customers and the community to enable development and testing of workloads for leading-edge hyperscale environments.” said Forrest Norrod, vice president and general manager, Server Solutions, Dell.
Dell has a few tools for providing the necessary environment such as collaboration with remote-accessible clusters of ARM-based servers via Dell Solution Centers and even a partnership with Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC).
“Ubuntu is the prevalent OS for scale-out workloads such as Hadoop, Condor, Memcached and edge-of-the-network web servers. The latest release, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, is the first widely-certified enterprise platform with full support for ARM.” said Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Ubuntu and leader of Canonical product and design.
