Dell (Dell)’s new low-power business server built with a VIA Technologies processor is unlikely to pose a threat to Intel (NSDQ: INTC) or Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD), which supply chips for higher-performing systems.

VIA on Wednesday confirmed that Dell’s XS11-VX8 server uses a VIA Nano. Dell on Tuesday had acknowledged using the processor and described its new product as an “ultralight” server.

An article talking about Dell’s new server based on the VIA processor, anything the vendors can do to improve the affordability of the server as a platform has to be a good thing, keep in mind, not every user has the same requirements, you might want a dc, a file server and something to run your intranet/SharePoint, this kind of solution might be ideal. Would they be an ideal web farm or grid in a box solution as well?
