Thoughts from transgressing dimension
Here you can see some of my wild thoughts and you may find some good worldly ideas on here. I just love thinking and thought I should let my thinking be read.

MicroServers

Permanent Linkby highdimensionman on Wed Dec 10, 2014 12:15 am

On todays internet servers you pay a substantial price for a limited bandwidth or limited usage with usually a relativly inefficient largish rack.
Upgrading your setup usually takes a good bit of technical work and extra cost. If say you host media on your personal site or sales you soon get overloaded if you suddenly become popular and left with quite a bill for your efforts.
With the advent of ARM64 and microserver a lot more efficient use of server side becomes possible.

Overcomming the suddenly popular for a day issue.
Instead of charging for how many racks you own and a bandwidth or usage limit you could pay for a floor bandwidth and a 10 or so point priority ranking. For example if you raise your ranking up from 2 too 5 just for the month of december your one server is converted in like a server raid setup to use two extra micro servers. The server side OS could be written with priority adaption in mind. server virtualisation in conjuction with such a model might allow far more individuals to and small companies to develop sites that can adapt to demand in a far more cost effective and efficient way and the server company would probably profit well from such flexability with companies paying for their five minutes of fame more to avoid overload on cyber monday or whatever. Such a adaptive server model should be as easy to work with as a current day server is and not made overly complicated but should function well enough to adapt to demand.
What i'm suggesting here is a sort of merging of cloud and standard server side markets such that it's easy to switch from a single virtual server over to many dedicated servers relative to demand even for individual's like artists allowing for more dynamic use of html5 for small traversing large content demand. microservers along with such a cost effective adaptive model over time would bring more customers into having their own server.

Getting a longer life span from microserver SSD's
When you put a swap partition on an SSD it uses up far more rewrite cycles lowering the life span of the drive and making it more prone to error in the long term. two ways round this are a. to use an extra hard drive which takes up unessary micro server space when you don't need that many extra gigs and also is quite costly or b. to add more memory which takes up more space and is costly.
A less costly or more space saving and faster way round this might be to mount two 1 inch high spin speed energy efficient drives into a 2.5 inch SSD purely for use as a swap and data flow. Such a drive might cost a bit more but when your working with many small businesses and Individuals wanting to make use of microsevers it could be well worth it you could even have a few gigs on a partition for user edited dataflow say for example such that the main site loads fast off the SSD and the lifespan of the drive is longer thanks to some tiny cylinder drives.
this could compliment current hybrid drives relative to their use when you want fast loading crossed with high yeilds of user content just remeber the reverse is also an issue for some customers where the user data flow is low but the content is high especially as AI derived content emerges or if shops just need a few reviews but want extra company content like games and videos on their site ect which they want fast access to their is also the fact that text compresses well already highly compressed media content is bigger and has little benefit from further compression.

Home and office microservers and their integration with cloud and server side microservers.
There may come a day when sever side and client side converge. for example your future microserver might be a plug on the wall dealing many with legitamate p2p content. So you may one day rely more on p2p to popularise your home content while making use of a server side site for the general populus to find you on. Such integration of client side can only really be achived to a high enough and cost effective enough level with microserver technology. such integration can go three way you might sell your music on the cloud , share your free music and extra content over p2p and premote yourself via your own website.
Group's like say khan academy or wikipedia could take advantage of such technology offering more p2p content and linking too more polish personal web sites for user derived content.
tiny client servers that are always on could enable companies groups and individuals to do a lot more maybe even a ubuntu or android microserver router edition might even be on the cards one day.

In the field of machine intelligence the potential of microservers is vast and mostly untapped.
little machines with energy efficient gpgpu's asics or even pfga's on board could be loaded with qued tasks to do while you sleep work and play. just sitting on some shelf somwhere in your home you might have a few of them depending on your demands and you may even want to share your compute resources over the internet for a bit of extra credit from say people using such resource to render 3d imagry or mine bitcoines or whatever.
Another thing such comptu systems could offer would be for swarm Intelligence over the peers. for example a small research team might use such a peer compute clouds to map the gnomes of varous different plant species for whatever.

So far p2p technology in the hands of the populus has been used for more cinister affairs more so than progressive ones with the exception of boinc and the like this issue is like a dark cloud looming over more progressive legitimate use of client side technology which is mostly in my opinion to mankinds detriment and actually is a hinderence to economic progress limiting most to over relience on cloud technology big busness and the state causing less independence with regards to personal economic progress. It would seem as if both sides are polarized and not unified a big issue if you ask me a lot of unplsent and bad things have been done to individuals due to this lack of technilogical unification and who suffers most is communities and individuals .who benefits the most from the issue is corrupt individuals working in the establishment or picking on communities and individuals to get back at the establishment one big very hurtful contradiction if you ask me.

Diagnosis - Paranoid Schizophrenia although challenged.
Medication - Clopixol injection 4 weekly.
Personal diagnosis - I battle with the chemistry and biological effects of Clopixol every day trying to improve on the heath and range of my approach.
I try to improve my thinking. Hopefully some good ideas shine through.
