Is Arm ready for server dominance?

It's perfectly possible to buy an ARM server. We recently got a ThunderX2-based server from Phoenics: https://www.phoenicselectronics.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=...

Would you please tell what the specifications are and how much it cost you?

Not sure if I'm allowed to disclose the price (it's pretty easy to ask them for a quote though), but the config was:

Gigabyte R181-T90 1U ThunderX2

16 x 32GB RDIMM-TX2

1 x 480GB SSD Micron

Did you get them in volume or just the one? Quick searching looks to be between $8k-$10k I'd expect a volume discount could bring it between $6k-$8k

Just one, and that's roughly the right ballpark.
