Arm'ing for the future of IT – it’s not just a slice of Raspberry Pi
First, let’s chat about Oracle Linux on advanced RISC machines, more commonly known as Arm CPUs. This newer architecture has many advantages over the older x86_64 architecture that Intel and AMD use. This includes lower power consumption; lower latency, enabling better performance; and a simplified architecture that enables higher-density systems. Leveraging Oracle Linux on an Arm system is a popular option for both cloud-scale operators such as Oracle and Microsoft as well as smaller organizations that are looking at reducing their compute power and cooling needs.
Having a single enterprise OS on all Linux systems has several advantages, such as using the same tools across all servers and access to the same commercial support for your systems. The use cases for Arm in your inventory of servers are also interesting. As a whole, Arm processors offer a lower cost due to their higher potential...
