But, do you know what it is all about? why are all these top companies interested on putting phone technology into servers? Will it work? Trying to answer these questions and more, I created an on-line presentation around ARM Servers for your viewing pleasure: The presentation is done using Prezi.  [Prezi](http://prezi.com) is a new way to generate more dynamic presentations. I will give you a few tips: * When viewing a Prezi, make sure you click on the “Full Screen” for maximum effect (under More..) * You can also click on auto-run if you would like the animation to happen on its own * You can also use the right and left arrows to move around the animation at your leisure * If you want to zoom into something, just double click on it!
