A micro server is a small
server appliance that works like a server. A server is a physical computer
dedicated to run one or more services as a host to serve the needs of the users
of other computers on a network.
Micro servers are
off-the-rack appliances that are specifically designed to process low intensive
workloads such as lightweight web serving, simple content delivery nodes, and
low end dedicated hosting, with easy installation and maintenance. It comes with
preinstalled operating system, hardware and software configured by the
manufacturer.
A micro server is a
popular choice for small- to medium-sized businesses, web-hosting companies
etc. They are also used by corporations that operate with minimal IT staff at
local or branch offices.
The power usage of the
traditional servers is very high even when they are in idle mode which makes
them ineffective cost-wise. Micro servers were developed as a cost effective
solution to the servers industry. Hence, this forms the major driver for micro
server market. Owing to their small size, and the fact they require less
cooling than their traditional servers, they can also be densely packed
together to save physical space in the data centre. The micro servers presently
costs up to 63 percent less than the conventional servers. Hence, the key
factors viz. size and cost, both are highly optimized compared to traditional
servers. Also, micro servers aren't only suited to low-end online content
delivery, but they suit perfectly to data processing tasks where the workload
can be parceled up and operated in parallel.
North America has the
largest market for micro servers presently. Media storage and data centers
application are growing an extraordinary rate in these regions which hold the
largest share among other applications, their growth will supplement the growth
of micro servers. Analytics and cloud computing are the other promising
applications of micro servers which will grow at phenomenal rates during the
forecasted period.
One of the major
limitations for micro servers is the cost and efforts required to adapt
software to efficiently map workloads to micro servers. This will require
software to be rewritten to enable micro servers to process the task in
parallel, which may bring down the advantage of savings in capital and running
expenses. There also exists danger of running into a performance barrier,
where a workload designed to be carried out in parallel using micro servers
today might require more performance in future but be unable to be parallelized
further thereby making them obsolete. Networking also forms a risk, as
deploying a large number of less powerful servers increases the number of ports
required and switching overhead.
Some of the major players
in the micro servers market are HP, AMD, Applied Micro, Calxed, and Intel for
processors and ARM for chips.
