there are -no- ARMv7 grade server hardware available, there are single
board units, none of which are capable of running infrastructure
services for any reasonable performance. the cubietruck seems the most
'capable' but still falls well short of reasonable performance.

There are however ARMv8 based server's that are available, the APM
Mustang class of boards are well supported in CentOS Linux 7 and are
perhaps the most widely available.

this does however take into consideration my own interpretation of what
might be considered 'reasonable performance'.
