White Paper: Breakthrough Innovation and Economics for Mission-Critical Systems
ILeading Mission-Critical Software Vendors Choose Intel® Xeon® Processors to Power Their Solutions
“ What we’ve been seeing over the past couple of years more and more is the ISVs in the mission-critical space moving their workloads, moving their applications over to the Xeon platform. Intel has produced a microarchitecture that is as mission-critical or capable of mission-critical performance as the applications that are dependent on it. The pure performance of the chip, throughput capabilities, memory and virtualization support are all at a level that we’ve never seen before in Intel products.” – Charles King, President, Principal Analyst, Pund-IT
“ Going from the general-purpose workload to now mission-critical, meaning database transaction orientated applications, actually have a fiduciary or monetary value to the IT organization; that’s where I see these new platforms moving upwards. No longer are they just simplified web hosting or infrastructure servers but really running commerce, really running business, in the way it was meant to be. Intel has brought things like availability and standardization to the masses, but at the same time not sacrificing the quality of service delivery.”
Today’s IT departments face major challenges managing growing mission-critical data repositories and delivering instant answers mined from this data.
An explosion of structured and unstructured data is flooding data centers from an increasing number of sources. On top of this incredible growth, business managers demand instant and new insights from this data, requiring IT departments to deliver real-time business analytics and information that will help managers make critical decisions affecting the company’s revenues and operations. Complicating IT managers’ challenges, these demands need to be met with flat or even declining budgets.
