A micro server is a small server
appliance that works like a server. A server is a physical computer dedicated
to run one or more services as a host to serve the needs of the users of other
computers on a network.

Micro servers are off-the-rack
appliances that are specifically designed to process low intensive workloads
such as lightweight web serving, simple content delivery nodes, and low end
dedicated hosting, with easy installation and maintenance. It comes with
preinstalled operating system, hardware and software configured by the
manufacturer.
A micro server is a popular choice
for small- to medium-sized businesses, web-hosting companies etc. They are also
used by corporations that operate with minimal IT staff at local or branch
offices.
The power usage of the traditional
servers is very high even when they are in idle mode which makes them
ineffective cost-wise. Micro servers were developed as a cost effective
solution to the servers industry. Hence, this forms the major driver for micro
server market. Owing to their small size, and the fact they require less
cooling than their traditional servers, they can also be densely packed
together to save physical space in the data centre. The micro servers presently
costs up to 63 percent less than the conventional servers. Hence, the key
factors viz. size and cost, both are highly optimized compared to traditional
servers. Also, micro servers aren't only suited to low-end online content
delivery, but they suit perfectly to data processing tasks where the workload
can be parceled up and operated in parallel.
North America has the largest market
for micro servers presently. Media storage and data centers application are
growing an extraordinary rate in these regions which hold the largest share
among other applications, their growth will supplement the growth of micro
servers. Analytics and cloud computing are the other promising applications of
micro servers which will grow at phenomenal rates during the forecasted period.
One of the major limitations for
micro servers is the cost and efforts required to adapt software to efficiently
map workloads to micro servers. This will require software to be rewritten to
enable micro servers to process the task in parallel, which may bring down the
advantage of savings in capital and running expenses. There also exists danger
of running into a performance barrier, where a workload designed to be carried
out in parallel using micro servers today might require more performance in
future but be unable to be parallelized further thereby making them obsolete.
Networking also forms a risk, as deploying a large number of less powerful
servers increases the number of ports required and switching overhead.
Some of the major players in the
micro servers market are HP, AMD, Applied Micro, Calxed, and Intel for
processors and ARM for chips.
