Q&A
What will a basic commodity server look like in 2012?
2009
(2 to 8 way box)
Basic Commodity
Server
• 1 or 2 sockets
• Dual or quad core
• 4 to 16 hardware
threads (logical
processors)
• ½ - 2 GB DDR2 RAM
(expandable to 8 to
64GB)
• 80 to 160GB
attached 3.5 inch
hard disk drive (up to
4 bays)
• ~$300 to $1500
without OS installed
Basic Commodity Server (speculative)
2012
(8 to 24 way
box, with
performance
perhaps
roughly
comparable to
a 24 to 72 way
box from circa
2008)
• 1 or 2 sockets (1P servers grow faster than
2P)
• 8 to 12 cores (i.e., 8 to 24 cores total on
box), with 16 to 32 possible in this
timeframe. Each core at least 2 to 3X faster
than today’s cores
• 16 to 48 hardware threads (logical
processors) on an Intel based system
• 24 GB or more DDR3 system memory (at
least 2X faster than today)
• Non-volatile supplementary memory cache
• On die memory controllers and networking
for faster I/O
• 240GB+ attached solid state drive (10X to
100X+ or faster than HDDs)
• ~$250 to $1000
• By 2012, the most basic commodity server will be a very powerful box in today’s terms.
• Processing speed is understated by simply counting future cores or hardware threads. Inherently faster
cores, algorithmic throughput improvements, the ability to offload specialized processing to dedicated
processing units on chip, faster DDR3 memory, faster I/O, larger on-chip memory caches, faster
interconnects, and faster solid state drives will combine to boost performance dramatically.
• Unless software/workload demand for compute resources grows drastically, by 2012 to 2015, the
motivation within IT departments to seek much higher consolidation ratios to boost hardware utilization is
inevitable.
• New memory hierarchies with non-volatile RAM in between cache and main memory are an important and
far reaching change

How many times have you
Searched for a file…… that was
on a co-workers laptop ?
Struggled to connect your PC
to a printer ?
Had to copy data on a USB
stick to printing ?
Walk over to a specific PC to
access an email account or an
accounting package ?
Not been able to respond to
your customers because your
IT was “not available”

Can’t a desktop do this for me ?
Servers are much more reliable as compared to a desktop
“Personal Computers” - not designed to be simultaneously used by multiple users
Are Servers too complex ?
