Intel® Xeon® Processor 5600 Series: Driving the Real-Time Cloud
Fast-growing Joyent delivers performance and profitability with the Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series Joyent is a multi-tenant cloud innovator that serves the stars and rising stars of social network gaming, real-time mobile applications, and other dynamic Web segments. It meets their performance and scalability requirements with Intel® Xeon® processors and cloud software that Joyent developed over years of running a public cloud. Company executives say that moving from the Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series to the 5600 series helps Joyent effectively double its capacity and revenues, and that Joyent’s ability to support 400 virtual machines (VMs) on a server is the envy of its competitors.
Challenges
• Low latency, high density. Joyent needs to support as many tenants as possible on each server without slowing end-user performance or scalability.
Solution
• Innovative cloud software. Delivering operating system (OS)-level virtualization, Joyent’s SmartDataCenter* and SmartOS* software are optimized to extract every ounce of performance from the underlying platform.
• Intel Xeon processors. Joyent minimizes latency and maximizes density by standardizing on Dell PowerEdge* R710 2U rack servers powered by the Intel Xeon processors E5620 and E5530.
• Intel® 10 Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapters. Joyent uses Intel 10 Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapters to improve throughput while reducing total cost of ownership.
Impact
• Responsiveness and agility. Joyent says it provides best-in-class application performance plus cloud analytics technology that lets customers track their applications’ latency. Customers can draw as-needed capacity from a large pool of available resources, enhancing their flexibility.
• Density and profits. Joyent supports 2,000 VMs on five physical servers, increasing margins and achieving profitability with its first installed server.
