Connectivity

With the rise of the embedded Internet, the edge of the network is quickly moving beyond the phone, car, and PC to billions of connected, embedded devices and sensors. As this trend gathers momentum, the network infrastructure must support a wider spectrum of network traffic types, ranging from video to billions of RFID transactions.

Intel's latest generation of multi-core processors provide dramatic increases in performance that enable bladed and carrier-grade rack mount servers to meet the demands of traffic volume and data complexity within the thermal footprint of existing datacenters.

The embedded Internet also depends on multiple networking protocols and standards. Intel must support a wider spectrum of network traffic types, ranging from video to c architecture providing the flexible I/O capabilities needed to support current and legacy networks. Intel products support improvements in wireless networking and wired technologies, ranging from WiMAX* to Power over Ethernet (PoE), that provide flexible connectivity solutions.
