Heard about the “data center demons”? If you are wresting with blowing through your data center’s power limit, experiencing “server sprawl” or needing to reduce operations and maintenance costs, then this presentation from the Gartner IT Symposium will offer some solutions. Josh Hansen, Intel® Xeon® Platform Marketing Manager at Intel, discusses the Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processor 7300 Series based platforms.

This IT@Intel brief describes how Intel IT tested a four-socket server based on the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 7300 series, and demonstrated scalable, predictable performance with up to 32 consolidated server workloads in virtual machines (VMs).

A server based on the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 7300 series completed complex design rule verification workloads up to 2.45x faster in Intel IT tests than a similarly configured server based on the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series.  This IT@Intel brief describes how higher compute and memory capacity could accelerate product development cycles.

Intel IT tested servers based on select Intel multi-core processors to analyze the potential role of each in Intel’s data center server virtualization strategy. Each server provided significant potential benefits in performance, power consumption per workload, and operating costs over older servers running non-virtualized workloads. The server based on the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 7300 series showed the greatest scalability and used the least power per job when running large numbers of virtual machines (VMs), and proved suitable for achieving high consolidation ratios in a busy enterprise data center.  See the details in this white paper.

Intel IT used the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5300 series to consolidate eight physical machines into virtual machines running on a single server.
