TECHNICAL ARTICLE:
Read about Intel IT's testing of the Intel Xeon processor 5600 series that delivered up to 17.3X throughput improvements compared with single-core Intel Xeon processors and up to a 15:1 consolidation ratio by replacing servers based on single-core Intel Xeon processors.
WHITE PAPER:
Intel conducted tests on Web servers serving encypted data to quantify the benefits of AES-NI and found that AES-NI reduced computational overhead of encyrption by 50 percent. Continue reading this paper to learn more about the tests and results.
WHITE PAPER:
This paper describes issues of high processor and server density within existing data center infrastructures. It identifies methods to optimize the effectiveness of power and cooling resources in facilities that are deploying high-density equipment...
CASE STUDY:
Southwestern/Great American chose to swap its dual environment (SAP ERP ran off of a legacy IBM AS/400) for a leaner infrastructure based on VMware ESX and IBM blade servers with Intel Xeon processors that could run both SAP ERP and its Windows applications. Read this case study to learn about the combined VMware and Intel solution.
WHITE PAPER:
Many large organizations have a centralized enterprise resource planning (ERP) environment based on proprietary mainframes or RISC-based systems. In contrast, Intel IT has successfully implemented a decentralized ERP environment that is based on industry-standard servers and supports more than 10,000 active users.

WHITE PAPER:
Consolidating and/or virtualizing SQL Server databases can improve data center efficiency and enable you to tackle database sprawl, achieve high availability, and boost agility. Beginning with the value 4 processor (4P) capabilities of the AMD Opteron™ 6000 Series platform, the AMD/Dell/Microsoft combination can help produce substantial savings.
ASSESSMENT TOOL:
Developed with key learnings from Intel IT's experience in justifying server refresh internally, this tool allows you to enter data about your existing environment and evaluate the benefits of replacing it with the latest generation of Intel-based servers.
