Best Computer Hardware Stocks To Watch For 2014

Two years ago, Facebook (NASDAQ: FB  ) founded the Open Compute Project, aimed at building one of the most efficient computing infrastructures for the lowest possible cost. Under the open source project, the conventional server monolith has been completely deconstructed and components that would normally be found on the same motherboard have been spread out within a server rack.

In other to accomplish this feat, Facebook enlisted the help of Intel (NASDAQ: INTC  ) for its silicon photonic technology, enabling transfer speeds of 100 gigabits per second, as well as a low enough latency for components to be spread out within the server rack. As a result, Facebook has been able to develop server designs that are 38% more efficient and 24% less expensive to build and operate than today's state-of-the-art servers. This approach not only allows for data center engineers to create custom modular server designs to exact specifications, but also maximizes the life cycle of components.
