I came across an article about SeaMicro and then went onto their site to find out what the noise is all about.
I think they've done a game changer as most people seem to be point out.
For the un-informed - What SeaMicro has done is to bring in virtualization to the hardware industry. They've pulled together 512 Intel Atom processors onto a single 10U Rack.
This means that they've effectively brought together a hugh change in running costs (Power @ 1/4 of a normal system, space usage @ 1/4 of the normal system) etc.More importantly, if they can deliver on manage'ability' - then, I'm sure they have a winner.
It is supposed to be able to run the standard OS (off the shelf) and this is probably the key to adoption. The first beneficiary will be the people who are trying to offer Infrastructure as a Service for the the cloud folks.
Let us wait & watch the uptake...
