The Cortex-A15 core has just been announced by ARM. Don't expect to see actual 
Cortex-A15 based chips in less than a year.

Are you interested in processing horsepower, or storage?

The closest thing to "server" in the ARM world is probably a NAS box. See 
arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/Kconfig in a recent kernel for a list of some things, 
including QNAP and LaCie offerings. Since these are all ARMv5 chips with VIVT 
cache, their processing capabilities are seriously limited.
