ARM-based datacenters: Myth or reality? (20 minutes session) | Partner Theater Session
Developing a new compute architecture is a gargantuan task that only pays off when there is significant adoption. Advanced RISC machine (ARM)-based servers have been discussed for years as an alternative to the prevailing x86 architecture, yet we have seen very few deployments. Over the last year, the ARM server ecosystem experienced consolidation, attrition, and new investments that have significantly changed the landscape. This is your chance to hear directly from the most active ecosystem participants about why, in their opinion, 2017 will be the year of ARM servers.During this interactive panel, you can ask thought leaders from the silicon, hardware, and software industries about trends, challenges, and opportunities for adopting ARM in data centers.Moderators:Yan Fisher, Red HatJon Masters, Red H
