Intel IT is exploring ways of delivering IT core value to users through the use of virtualization technologies. Intel IT evangelists Dave Buchholz and Ed Jimison show how this virtual user environment can reduce IT support and management, and improve end-user experience.

With the increasing cost of managing desktop PCs and the associated operating systems and applications, IT is looking to improve manageablity and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). This has resulted in two trends which the presenter examines: investment in better means to manage the clients, and centralization of some aspect of the compute environment of data, application, OS or hardware.

Intel IT is exploring ways of delivering IT core value to users through the use of virtualization technologies.  IT evangelist Dave Buchholz shows how this virtual user environment can reduce IT support and management, and improve end-user experience.

Intel IT compared the performance of two and four processor-socket servers in a virtualized environment.  This virtualization benchmark study examined server performance, total cost of ownership and scalability for a variety of deployment scenarios.

Intel’s approach to manage PCs as a strategic asset has resulted in lower TCO and increased capabilities. Read how Intel did in in this Intel Premier IT magazine article from the Winter 2008 edition.

Rising data center and storage costs are having a significant effect on total cost of ownership. To help reduce costs, Intel has devised an eight-year transformation plan based on four principles: consolidate, virtualize, optimize, and standardize. An aggressive data center efficiency plan will shake up the way Intel delivers IT resources. Read the details in this Winter 2008 Intel Premier IT magazine article.

McKesson worked with Intel’s Software and Solutions Group to analyze application performance for their Horizon Patient Folder application. In this presentation from the recent New York City Intel Premier IT Professional best practices seminar, McKesson product manager Chris Pate describes the process and the role that dual-core servers and virtualization played in reducing the total cost of ownership.

Intel IT Services manage more than 77,000 mobile and 14,000 desktop PCs in 144 sites in 60 countries—all under ever tightening budgets. In this article posted on FierceCIO.com, authors George Clement, a Systems Programmer for Intel IT, and Richard Lansford, a business value analyst with the Intel IT Business Value program, say that by treating the PC as an asset, rather than a piece of expendable hardware and by employing new strategies and technologies, Intel has been able to lower costs, achieve greater productivity and increase both worker satisfaction and IT efficiency.

In this interview with John Mahvi, co-author of the article Mobility: The Opportunity for IT from the Summer 2007 issue of the Intel Premier IT magazine, you’ll hear how Intel increased productivity and lowered total cost of ownership through a commitment to mobility, plus hear about what’s next.
