The Texas-based server designer demonstrated the technology at the Ubuntu Developer and Cloud Summit in Oakland, California on Monday. It used Ubuntu 12.04 — the most recent long-term support version of the Linux distribution, also known as Precise Pangolin — to run a LAMP stack, along with node.js and Ruby-on-Rails, off a server made of prototype ARM-based EnergyCard compute blades.

Check out this article, it’s talking about the Calxedas ARM powered server, I’m genuinely excited about the ARM processor as a concept, I wonder if this might not create markets and opportunities for alternate mini-servers and open up markets that previously might not have existed due to the economics. We’ll have to see, do check it out, could these ARM based servers be the next big thing like the Blade server was all those years ago?
