Small and Medium Business

Intel® Xeon® processors are built with technologies designed to deliver intelligent performance and 24/7 dependability to help businesses of all sizes improve productivity.

Ready to step up to a real server? With an Intel® Xeon® processor 3400 series-based server, your business will benefit from:

  • Greater than three times the performance versus 3+ year-old desktop-based servers¹
  • Automatic detection and correction of the majority of soft memory errors to keep your data secure and your system running
  • Expandable memory and gigabit networking to keep employees productive as your business grows

Need more performance for advanced applications but want to keep your energy costs down? Refresh your 3+ year old server with Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series.

  • Up to 5.2 times faster than Intel® Xeon® processor 3100 series-based servers.²
  • Up to 3.7 times more energy efficient than Intel® Xeon® processor 3100 series-based servers.³
  • Best choice for virtualization and business critical applications enabling IT to become efficient and responsive.
