I've been blogging about the idea of a Little Green Server watching for companies who embrace the idea that smaller is better. I checked my blog and I wrote about the idea Intel Atom Servers in July 2008.
Sea Micro came out of its quiet period, and made quite a bit of noise.
The one I am waiting for next is ARM Servers.
From the momentum it looks like the idea of Intel Atom servers is going to be deployed.
