Demonstrates the value of a Xeon 7400 Dunnington system, the Dell IT group has virtualized more than 5,000 servers and saved the company over US$29 million using a scalable, worldwide virtualization model.

Overview of why Xeon is your best choice for their Virtualization projects

Intel and Microsoft have collaborated for more than 20 years across engineering, sales, and services to create and deliver leading business and IT solutions, driving the deployments of a more dynamic and efficient data center. Based on their joint roadmaps and customer input they identify key IT requirements, co-develop support for key integrated features, and validate and optimize these features for Intel platforms to deliver innovations in hardware and software that make deployments more powerful, efficient, and flexible.

The SAP ERP* applications help companies address the ups and downs of markets, business cycles, and compliances by providing software solutions that include operations, financials, corporate services, and human capital management. With greater enterprise productivity and insight from SAP ERP, companies have the power needed to adapt quickly and cost effectively to changing business, market, and industry requirements. By running SAP ERP in a virtualized environment, IT can add to these benefits by lowering IT costs and increasing data center and business agility.

As execution environments for todays software applications grow increasingly complex, application developers must become aware of new types of performance issues and optimizations. This paper discusses the handling of application optimization for multi-core, virtualized environments.

Breakthroughs in processor performance are transforming the way IT organizations utilize and improve data center productivity and energy efficiency.

A new Intel microarchitecture, codenamed Nehalem, dynamically manages cores, threads, cache, interfaces, and power to deliver outstanding energy efficiency and performance on demand.

3 minute video of VMware Chief Architect and VMware CTO discussing key enable and feature utilization of Xeon 5500. Key messages around Virtual Machine Density, performance of enterprise apps in virtual environment, power efficiency and flexible migration.

IT needs to refresh existing infrastructure with servers that deliver more performance and scalability, more efficiently. The Intel Xeon processor 5500 series provides a foundation for IT management to refresh existing or design new data centers to achieve greater performance while using less energy and space, and dramatically reducing operating costs.

In Intel IT tests, a laptop PC based on Intel Centrino 2 with vPro technology running a virtualized client environment performed up to 125 percent faster than a three-year-old native-mode system due for refresh.

Intel IT developed a new computing approach that combines multiple emerging technologies, including client virtualization and streaming, to potentially transform the way we deliver computing to users.
