It will be interesting to see whether HP and Foxconn will truly be able to address the needs of large Internet service companies. Nowadays Amazon, Google and Facebook not only wants custom servers, but also custom chips and a lot of other hardware built for their needs. Will the two companies be able to create and build solutions that fit those very diverse needs? They have got some serious competition in this business...

 

Hewlett-Packard and Foxconn Electronics, the world’s largest contract maker of electronics devices, on Wednesday signed a joint venture agreement under which the two companies would produce low-cost cloud-servers aimed at big online service providers. The machines will be tailored for individual customers.

Prepare yourselves for my ignorance on the workings of datacenter servers..

 

When they say 'low cost' how can that be interpreted? Do these machines not use things like CPUs that are priced by other companies such as Intel?
