The Changing Dynamic of the Data Center
Monday, May 11th, 2009Greg Schulz, Founder and Senior Analyst with StorageIO Group, discusses the new data center architecture and how the Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series fits into that architecture offering efficiencies in terms of energy efficiency and in terms of getting more work done in a shorter period of time with a smaller footprint.
The Green Grid
Friday, April 17th, 2009In the video, Jon Haas of Intel’s EcoTechnology Program Office explains how The Green Grid, a global consortium dedicated to developing and promoting energy efficiency for data centers and information service delivery, is tackling the energy issues. Data center managers around the world are running into limits related to power, cooling, and space – and the rise in demand for the important work of data centers has created a noticeable impact on the world’s power grids. In response, the members of The Green Grid have taken up the challenge of developing metrics to measure data center efficiency and the tools to improve it. (more…)

Improving EDA Batch Application Performance
Monday, March 30th, 2009Intel IT and Synopsys conducted a joint performance assessment of 64-bit Intel® multi-core platforms running Synopsys VCS* application for simulation and Synopsys Proteus* application for optical proximity correction (OPC). Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series improved performance as much as 13.14x for simulation workloads and 11.39x for OPC workloads compared to 64-bit Intel® Xeon® processors with a single-core. Based on our performance assessment, we are beginning to deploy servers based on the new Intel Xeon processor 5500 series in our data centers to achieve greater performance and significantly increase compute capacity within the existing data center footprint.

An Intel Retrofit Data Center
Friday, February 13th, 2009Old fabs don’t go away, they come back as….data centers? This video, the second in IT@Intel’s series of Intel’s world-class data centers, shows how Intel took a wafer fabrication facility (fab) with a 3-story design and retrofited it as a data center. You can see innovations in data center power delivery and air cooling, as well as one of the world’s fastest super computers. (more…)
