Intel IT has been implementing a service-based architecture over the last few years to improve the responsiveness of enterprise solutions while reducing development time and costs. One key learning: an incremental approach to developing reusable modular building blocks provides better results and return on investment than a more ambitious approach.

IA: The Intelligent Architecture Investment
Tuesday, April 21st, 2009During his keynote, titled “IA: The Intelligent Architecture Investment,” Pat Gelsinger, Intel senior vice president and general manager of the Digital Enterprise Group, discussed Intel’s latest client, server and embedded product lines, and gave developers an update on the latest programming tools available for the Larrabee architecture.
Intel’s complete Intel architecture future product roadmap was also revealed. Gelsinger said the “Nehalem” microarchitecture has received worldwide acclaim with the Core® i7 processor launch in 2008 and the recent Nehalem-based Intel® Xeon® 5500 series introduction. The Xeon 5500 series combines the world’s leading processor microarchitecture with a new memory and I/O subsystem, Intel® QuickPath Interconnect and Intel® Intelligent Power Technology to control power consumption.
Gelsinger said Intel and the industry now look to adopting more mainstream PC and laptop versions of the Nehalem microarchitecture, including 32nm manufactured versions with on-processor graphics, as well the multi-socket Nehalem EX server processor, all in production in the second half of 2009. The future Nehalem-EX processor will provide eight cores for the multiprocessor “intelligent server” market.
For embedded computers, Gelsinger discussed a range of recently announced Intel® Atom™ processor solutions with industrial temp for applications such as in-vehicle infotainment and industrial automation. He also disclosed, for the first time ever, the Nehalem-EP based processor (codenamed “Jasper Forest”) that is specifically designed to deliver increased compute density and integration required for embedded and storage applications.
Gelsinger also addressed Larrabee, which is Intel’s first many-core architecture designed for high throughput applications and features a programmable graphics pipeline that enables developer freedom. The Intel executive discussed availability of a C++ Larrabee Prototype Library and a future parallel programming solution based on “Ct” technology. The first Larrabee discrete graphics products are due in the late 2009/2010 timeframe.
Two and Four-Socket Server Virtualization Platforms
Monday, October 6th, 2008In this video, Sudip Chahal, principal engineer with the Enterprise Architecture Group in Intel IT, discusses a proof of concept and total cost of ownership analysis on Intel® Xeon® two-and four-socket servers which Intel IT recently completed.
Dynamics of a Trusted Platform
Friday, September 19th, 2008As PCs become more and more the generators, users and storers of key corporate data, they become easy targets for attacks from within and without. In a forthcoming book from Intel Press, Dynamics of a Trusted Platform, author David Grawrock delves into these security issues, introducing the concept of Trusted Computing and the building-block approach to designing security into vulnerable PCs. This lead architect for Intel’s security initiative and author of Intel Safer Computing Initiative gives designers and developers tips to evaluate Trusted Computing and protect PCs against threats. The attached excerpt is a preliminary chapter from the book scheduled to be published in February 2009.
How Virtualization Will Enable the True Predictive Enterprise
Thursday, August 28th, 2008Intel vice president and chief information office Diane Bryant and VMware vice president of global alliances Brian Byun describe how virtualization will enable the true predictive enterprise — the ability for an IT manager to respond dynamically to the change in demands in their business. Byun further explains that the two companies are looking at how to work with customers to get additional benefits beyond cost savings. Additionally several customers who have implemented VMware infrastructure on Intel architecture briefly describe their experiences.
