ASL can install on intel/amd based servers or on arm (Raspberry PI 3/4), and each has it's use.  RPi based servers typically are used for a single node, and work best at sites which are easy to access.  RPi is cheap and if it fails, it can be replaced for under 100 USD.  Intel based servers tend to be in a 19" rack mount form factor, give the ability to use real SAS or SATA SSD's and have out of band management options.  These servers may optionally support the Quad Port pciradio interface card.  This card is basically a 4 port simple usb interface, but designed to slot in a PCI bus.

Intel servers are a great choice when you need to support more than one node per server or will be doing lots of linking.  The newer RPi4 has blured these lines a bit due to 4 or 8 GiByte ram options, and impressive SMP clock speeds.
