The Bamboo Systems server architecture uses ARM processors in a dense configuration to deliver a reduction in power consumption, using one quarter of the power of an equivalent Intel-based system.
This new architecture maximizes the performance of modern application design while providing ten times the density of today’s servers, at one third the cost.
