ARM Server Hardware Overview
Why ARM Servers? Why now? http://www.google.com/about/datacenters/ 35
Why ARM Servers? Why now? Workload optimized solutions significantly increased TCO One size doesn t fit all (anymore) TCO is king at large scale New workloads and scale forced re-evaluation of what s optimal http://www.google.com/about/datacenters/ 36
Why ARM Servers? Why now? Value chain is seeking increased innovation and choice Many ARM solutions coming to market - competition is healthy! Faster innovation needed by cloud & web leaders http://www.google.com/about/datacenters/ 37
Why ARM Servers? Why now? ARM business model enables innovation & differentiation It s not just about a low power core it s what you put around it ARM cores already used in networking & storage components Experts in those fields can leverage their existing IP http://www.google.com/about/datacenters/ 38

opensuse, ARM, and Kiwi
Deployment Challenges Most ARM hardware does not have a CD drive 63
Deployment Challenges Single install media is currently not possible Special bootloader for each SoC needed Kernel is also often still device specific 64
Deployment Solution Extended KIWI with extra targets for ARM Generic Chroot target SoC specific u-boot based Appliances 65
