Intel IT program manager Brently Davis suggests that data center efficiency includes both reducing the cost of computing and the cost of servers, while implementing data center consolidation and grid computing. He also touches on the top concerns for tackling such a project.

Intel’s Advanced Server Technologies Manager Jake Smith and VMWare’s Senior Director Ben Matheson, interact on the topic of virtualization. The pair discuss energy-efficiency, lower maintenance and software costs, performance issues and data center real estate as they look at the business benefits accrued through technological innovation.

What are the benefits of Operating System Streaming?  Intel IT Systems Engineer Christian Black looks at OS streaming, one of the virtualization technologies.  He examines the pain of a failed hard drive and discusses Intel’s benchmarking of local drives verses a centralized virtual disk.

In this short “whiteboard chat”, Intel Systems Engineer Christian Black talks about a better way to deliver applications to end users.  He charts out how it works, and discusses the benefits.

In a point/counterpoint Intel Premier IT Professional magazine article, two Intel strategists look at the Intel product roadmap from opposing directions.  Is it the industry trends like virtualization, energy-efficient computing and cloud computing that are driving technology development? Or is it the increasing performance and capabilities offered by the latest microprocessors.  Read and then pick your side.

Taken separately, virtualization, service orientation and grid computing are “old news”.  But merge these three powerful technologies, and we’ve got a new information technology model that will fundamentally change the way we do business.  This Intel Premier IT magazine article is an extract from the Intel Press IT Best Practice Series book titled The Business Value of Service-Oriented Grids: Strategic Insights for Enterprise Decision Makers.  The book synthesizes multiple technology trends, including software and hardware architecture, high-performance computing, networking, and telecommunications, with business trends such as outsourcing, systems integration, hosting, and the emerging Internet portal data center.

The emerging technology engineering team from Intel IT takes a look at how client virtualization, or the ability to deliver an operating system and/or application to an end user in a form other than its native format, allows for both providing a proven build and allowing users the flexibility of “owning” their own platform. IT technology evangelists Mike Breton and Dave Buchholz have the details.

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.
