You will find categorized information, links to additional resources, and paths forward to take you deeper into the platform. + +## Introduction + +The enterprise reference platform is targeted to accelerate the high powered ARMv8 servers in both datacenter and cloud vertical markets. Industry standard firmware (SBBR and SBSA) and a unified Linux kernel are provided for all the supported platforms, simplifying software maintenance and deployment. The high level components such as Openstack, Ceph, Hadoop, and KVM are rigorously validated for each distribution. The enterprise software stack provides two builds based on Debian and Centos. The goal is to help bridge the gap between older technology present in today’s distributions and the latest ARM server optimizations. + +- Unified Linux Kernel +- Open Boot Firmware + - Compliant with ARM SBSA and SBBR specifications +- Debian and Centos Network Installers +- Openstack and Ceph Reference Deployments +- Built for Big Data Workloads + +*** +
