A microserver is a single socket, low power, lightweight, and low cost server. Also, it includes a shared infrastructure ecosystem wherein many small server nodes are packaged into a larger ecosystem. A microserver is a system-on-chip (SoC) comprising many small single socket servers that share a chassis, power supply, fans, and a common interconnect for achieving better flexibility, higher density and efficiency. Microservers have gained significant momentum globally, as they are expected to offer better cost performance, higher reliability in SoC-based implementations and overall reduction in cost of ownership due to better self-management. The cloud market is growing and it offers huge opportunity for growth of microservers. Further, there is significant interest shown toward adoption of microservers by some of the large enterprises such as Facebook and Amazon, which is expected to boost the growth of microserver market.
