ROUTERS & SWITCHES
Intel Inside the Network
Intel platforms are ideal for all network computing systems and scale easily across product families and product generations. Because all Intel® processors are built on the same core architecture, developers can run one code base on everything from the high-end Intel® Xeon® processor to value-oriented Intel® Atom™ processors. Cost advantages include:
- Software reuse reduces development cost
- Easily extend existing PC and workstation application code to high-end services
- Faster time to market for new systems and services
