By adding more servers, the datacenter can quickly grow out of control, and bring power and cooling costs with it. Using new server technology available from Intel, however, IT managers can keep costs in check while running a more efficient operation. Applying RFID Technology in High Volume Manufacturing To explore the impact of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in manufacturing, Intel's Technology and Manufacturing Group deployed an RFID pilot within Intel's largest semiconductor assembly and test facility.
The pilot tracked 80,000 microprocessors from the end of the manufacturing line through Intel's warehouse, into a major customer's warehouse, and onto the customer's factory floor. Building a Real-World Model to Assess Virtualization Platforms To drive business decisions in the data center, Intel IT created a performance-driven methodology to compare the operating costs of virtualization platforms. By measuring workload performance, platform performance, and power consumption they were able to approximate the total cost of ownership (TCO) of each platform.
Building an Enterprise Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence Solution To achieve end-to-end visibility into critical business functions across the company, Intel IT deployed an integrated warehouse solution. Today's EDW occupies over 20TB of usable data space, processes 90 billion rows of data per month, and is accessed by over 11,000 users worldwide. Which Is Right for You Itanium 2 or x86 Architecture?
With the growing market success of Itanium 2-based solutions and the integration of 64-bit extensions into x86-based processors, organizations now have a choice of two widely supported, industry-standard, 64-bit architectures. Which is the right choice for your data center? Click here.
