Intel introduced 17 enterprise-class processors, led by the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series. Designed for addressing the increasing computing needs of many industries, the new enterprise-class chips can automatically adjust to specified energy usage levels, and speed data center transactions and customer database queries, said R.Ravichandran, Director -- Sales, Intel -- South Asia, at the launch.
The Intel Xeon processor 5500 series, previously codenamed "Nehalem-EP," offers several technologies to improve system speed and versatility. Technologies such as Intel Turbo Boost Technology, Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, integrated power gates, and Next-Generation Intel Virtualization Technology (VT) improved through extended page tables, allow the system to adapt to a broad range of workloads. The processor is designed to work with Intel's upcoming 32 nm products as well. "We are not talking about performance for the sake of it. We have managed to put in a lot of intelligence and other capabilities to this new platform," added Ravichandran.
More than 230 unique systems based on the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series are expected to be announced by more than 70 system manufacturers around the world -- including a new Intel customer, Cisco, along with Dell, Fujitsu, HP, IBM, Sun Microsystems and others. In India systems are available from Dell, HP, IBM, Sun Microsystems, Acer, Lenovo, HCL and Wipro. Apart from this, the new processor series would hit the market through Intel's existing server channel partners as well. The company will start training its channel partners shortly for this.
Many software vendors are also supporting Intel Xeon processor 5500 series-based platforms, including Citrix, IBM, Microsoft, Novell, Oracle, Red Hat, SAP AG, Sun Microsystems and VMware.
Ravichandran added that the new product will play a key role in scientific discoveries by researchers who use supercomputers as their foundation for research, all whilst delivering great energy efficiency for reduced electricity costs. "Apart from traditional industries, there is an increasing need for high performance computing among industries like automobile, animation etc. Besides, newer applications like medical imaging, genome research, climate predictions etc would also drive the need for more efficiency. We believe this launch will transform the landscapes of many industries. Xeon processor 5500 series will also power an upcoming transformation for the Internet's infrastructure," said Ravichandran.
The company made a few more announcements including the launch of new embedded processors- L5518and L5508-versions of Intel Xeon processors that are tailored specifically for communications market segments. It also announced new server boards that offer a higher degree of integrated components. In addition, the company announced the availability of Intel 82599 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller and its Data Center Manager software development kit in the market.
