The Foundation for
Better Business Intelligence
Big data is changing the way organizations
make business decisions. To transform
petabytes of data into strategic insights,
organizations need systems that can
quickly handle their current data-
demanding workloads, in addition to those
yet to be developed. By using fast, reliable
servers that are optimized for the Intel®...
Xeon® processor E7 v2 family, you can
process and analyze vast quantities of data
in real-time, extract value, make smart
business decisions, and gain competitive
advantage. The Intel Xeon processor E7
v2 family offers leadership performance
that allows you to outpace the speed of
today’s business, the scalability to handle
virtually any workload, and advanced reli-
ability, availability, and serviceability (RAS)
features for maximum system uptime.
Elevated Performance for Faster
Time-to-Insight Today’s data centers require top-of-
the-line performance to handle critical
workloads for business intelligence (BI),
business analytics, virtualization, and
traditional large enterprise databases,
such as those for customer relationship
management (CRM), enterprise resource
planning (ERP), and supply chain manage-
ment (SCM). The Intel Xeon processor
E7-8800/4800/2800 v2 product families
use native In-Memory analytics to bring
substantial amounts of data to the proces-
sors’ CPUs, significantly reducing latency
and leading to faster data analysis.
With up to 15 cores and 30 threads per
socket and 25% more cache, the Intel
Xeon processor E7 v2 family delivers up to
+,1
double the average performance of previ-
ous versions (see Figure 1). Three times
the memory capacity of previous versions
also enables advanced BI and analytics with
2
their transaction-intensive workloads.

performance can boost BI capabilities,

v2 family solution brief.
The Reliability to Handle
Mission-Critical Systems
A company’s systems—especially for
demanding workloads—are only as good
as they are dependable. Even a little

Survey polled 600 businesses worldwide.
Of those surveyed, 63% of the large
enterprises with 1,000 or more workers
reported that one hour of downtime costs
their business from $101,000 to $400,000
per hour, exclusive of any litigation or

compliance penalties.
According to industry analysts, more and
more enterprises are migrating their mission-
critical systems from proprietary RISC-based
platforms
