Abstract
This IDC Perspective examines an often overlooked aspect of server choice: how many sockets should the server have? As server and server component technology continue to evolve, so does the viability of single-socket servers within the enterprise datacenter.
"Technical advancements in server processing and form factor technology have produced enterprise-ready single-socket servers that can enhance the agility and efficiency of your datacenter," said Paul Maguranis, senior research analyst, IDC's Infrastructure Systems, Platforms and Technologies Group. "Through the adoption of single-socket servers for some workloads and deployment scenarios, IT buyers may realize cost savings previously unattainable in some dual-socket architectures."
