ARMv8-A, Cavium powering bare-metal serversarm Blogs - Brian Fuller, ARMNov. 21, 2016 |
If someone offered to sell your business server-compute cycles for one-tenth the going price, you might think there was a catch. But in this case you’d be wrong.
Nathan Goulding is the senior vice president of engineering of bare metal server startup, Packet, and that’s precisely what he and his colleagues are offering thanks to ARMv8-A powered technology.
“You can now provision hourly on-demand ARMv8 servers powered by 2 x 48 Cavium ThunderX SoCs (Cavium) on Packet,” Goulding (pictured far right) wrote in a recent Packet blog post. “We’re starting with our EWR1 home (New York metro), as well as Sunnyvale and Amsterdam. We’ll add in Tokyo in early December when the facility opens for production customers.”
The price? $0.50 per hour per server, or $0.005 per core per hour. (Yes, you’re reading that correctly).
