HP said the British-made ARM chip design that is usually used in smart phones and other mobile devices have lower operating costs than those used today.
British chip factory said that the deal was the "first step" in increasing sales in the field is still dominated by X86 based processors made by Intel.
The chip can be made by a company headquartered in Texas, Calxeda, which the company asserts energycore servers on the chip will use only 1.5 watts of electricity thus estimated to be smaller than one-tenth the energy that is used a number of server processors today.
HP plans to install a chip in a "container" single issue since the object is less heat so that the placement of the space used by the plant will be reduced 94 percent.
But HP stressed that the chip is not as alternatives, and only as a substitute for a more powerful Intel products.
"Indeed there is always a reward, you have less power but has a smaller processing power as well," said Head of Technology for Server, Storage and Networking HP UK, David Calmers told the BBC.
Calmers saying ARM-based chips are suitable for sending static pages, not for jobs that involve stacks of numbers. But other than that HP also plans to offer Intel's Atom processor energy efficient home as an option for consumers.
To help customers determine the appropriate chip their employment needs, HP also plans to open a "discovery labs" which was originally to be opened in Houston, Texas and several other places in Asia and Europe.
Calmers estimated in 2015 that the technology uses low electrical power will increase by 10 percent of all job servers.
"Saving energy is growing concern among our customers. It's a serious concern a number of corporate giants such as LinkedIn or Facebook, with hundreds of millions of users," he said adding, but it also occurs in the normal scale institutions.
The design of the ARM is mostly found in smart phones like Samsung Galaxy S2 as well as television and tablet computers.
If the use of proprietary technology Calxeda successful then it will become a lucrative revenue stream. The latest report by research firm announced that HP is the largest server vendor in the world with the digital control 30 percent of the market.
"We believe HP's innovation in this field, and investments are being made to encourage the development of a new class of server that is attractive and energy efficient," said Executive Vice President of Marketing ARM, Lance Howarth.
"We believe that the low-power ARM technology and partner ecosystem that will be the ideal milestone for HP's new wave of innovation for controlling the server market," said Howarth.
But industry analysts more pessimistic with a reminder that some customers will find a constraint on the chip.
"It will make the HP away from Intel's monopoly. However, some software designed to operate at Intel," said technology analyst of Davies Murphy Group, Chris Green.
He added that HP is not problematic to use ARM-based chips, but in reality these technologies may not be fully compatible with all software that is operated by the chip.
