Intel® Xeon® Processor 5600 Series: Expanding into the Cloud
Expedient doubles performance and density and reduces energy by almost 50 percent with the Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series.
Expedient Communications has added infrastructure as a service (IaaS) private cloud computing to its managed services portfolio, choosing the Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series as a foundation for scalable, secure, and efficient cloud services. Upgrading from servers based on the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series, Expedient’s IT leaders say they gained a 100 percent increase in compute capacity and density. They also cut their watts consumed per GB of memory, a key indicator for energy efficiency in the cloud, by almost 50 percent.
CHALLENGES
• Keep customers current. Expand customers’ IT capabilities by bringing them the performance advantages of the latest data center technologies.
• Deliver instant capacity. Deploy a scalable infrastructure with the headroom to handle peak loads.
• Optimize the data center. Increase server density and reduce operating costs.
SOLUTIONS
• Intel® Xeon® processor foundation. Expedient deploys Dell PowerEdge* R710 servers based on the Intel Xeon processor X5650 with 144 GB of RAM per server and is piloting the use of Intel® 10 Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapters to accelerate throughput.
• Value-added Intel® technologies. Expedient is exploring Intel® Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI) and Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT) to enhance security.
