Server Virtualization: Driving data center optimization for unprecedented flexibility

Server Virtualization

Breakthroughs in processor performance are transforming the way IT organizations utilize and improve data center productivity and energy efficiency.

Intel® Xeon® processors based on Intel® Core™ microarchitecture integrate hardware for virtualization into all key server components including Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) helping IT organizations consolidate more applications and heavier workloads on each server to improve flexibility, reliability, and total cost of ownership (TCO).

As the basis of Intel's most advanced server technology, Intel Core microarchitecture improves virtualization performance across every part of the server platform.
