Micro servers are an emerging form factor of servers
designed to process low intensive workloads like lightweight web serving;
simple content delivery nodes and low end dedicated hosting. They are basically
low power servers consisting of several nodes that share a common architecture.
Increasing demand for servers in data center due to the explosive growth of
data usage among customers and the power usage of the traditional servers even
when they are in idle mode makes them ineffective cost-wise. However the
stringent requirement of maintaining 99.99% uptime of the websites or data
availability makes these costs necessary. Micro servers were developed as a
cost effective solution to this dilemma faced by servers industry. Micro
servers have an extraordinary dense and power saving design in which fans and
power supply are shared by tens or potentially, hundreds of server nodes. This
efficiency leads to the elimination of space and power consumption of redundant
components. The micro servers presently costs up to 63 percent less than the
conventional servers.
Media storage application covers the largest share
of the market presently as compared to other applications. However it is
forecasted that data centers application will surpass it by 2018. The reason
behind this is the growing online business and increasing requirement of
security, storage, resilience in corporate. Analytics and cloud computing are
the other promising applications of micro servers. Cloud computing application
will grow at a phenomenal CAGR of 62.3% from 2013 to 2018.
North America has the largest market for micro
servers presently. Media storage and data centers application are growing an
extraordinary rate in these regions. As these applications hold the largest
share among other applications, their growth will supplement the growth of
micro servers. The prime reason behind this is the emergence of China and
Japan. As cloud computing is getting popular in this region, new players have
been entering into the internet datacenter services market. These new players
have brought more Internet datacenter resources to meet the end users’
fast-growing requirements. Thus as the internet datacenters market is growing,
there is a huge need of setting up infrastructure to meet this demand. It is
predicted that green field projects will be set up in these regions to
compensate for this growth and this would give great opportunity for micro
servers industry to install their solutions in these regions.
