Intel® Architecture for Enterprise Storage

Packing it all into the most spacious and energy-efficient design you can imagine—that is the business of storage today. It is the reason Intel® architecture is ideal for your enterprise storage solutions both large and small. With Intel architecture you get industry leading performance from the world's most advanced multi-core architecture—packed with the latest I/O technologies including high-bandwidth memory interfaces, high-performance PCI interfaces, and next-generation interconnects, such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet(10GbE) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE).

Efficiency is at the heart of Intel's latest technology innovations. Industry leading performance-per-watt and multi-core chip architecture allows OEMs and storage vendors to deliver powerful, dense, and efficient solutions. These technologies support even greater efficiency through such strategies as virtualization and thin-provisioning.

Intel® architecture is also highly flexible and scalable. With a common microarchitecture at the core, Intel® chips enable you to use one processor family for multiple storage products, easily vary the performance of systems within the same product line, and repurpose your entire hardware without having to spin a new board. Intel's wide selection of standard tools and broad support from a vast network of third party vendors makes it easy to program and bring your Intel architecture-based solutions to market quickly and cost-effectively.
