Ceské Radiokomunikace.jpgČeské Radiokomunikace is a modern broadcasting and telecommunications company with nationwide operations across the Czech Republic. It was the first company in the country to offer digital TV broadcasts. Alongside its TV and radio broadcasting services, it also provides a full range of voice, data, and Internet services. Looking to develop and strengthen its market segment position by continually improving services, it recognized the value in offering cloud-based services to Czech companies and built a data center from which to launch them. To ensure top server performance, security, and energy-efficiency, it implemented the Cisco Unified Computing System* powered by Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series.


“Entry into the information communications technologies services market segment was a big challenge for us,” explained Marcel Procházka, head of business development and strategy for České Radiokomunikace. “We carefully chose collaborators who could deliver cloud computing solutions. Intel, together with Cisco, offered not only an optimal technical solution in the form of the Cisco Unified Computing System equipped with Intel® processors, but also wider business cooperation and IT knowledge to help us succeed in a highly competitive market segment.”

NaviSite, Inc., a Time Warner Cable Company, is a leading worldwide provider of enterprise-class, cloud-enabled hosting, managed applications, and services. When the company launched its cloud computing solutions, it used Intel® Xeon® processors as the foundation, building a dense cloud environment that delivers more than 10 times the revenue per rack of non-cloud services. By expanding the environment with the Intel Xeon processor 5600 series, the company has further increased server density and enabled customers to move more and larger workloads to the cloud.


“The Intel Xeon processor 5600 series enables us to capitalize on greater core counts and memory capacity per server,” says Chris Patterson, senior product manager of cloud and hosting services at NaviSite. “As a result, we can accommodate more and larger workloads without significantly increasing our footprint.”

Joyent is a multi-tenant cloud innovator that serves the stars and rising stars of social network gaming, real-time mobile applications, and other dynamic Web segments. It meets their performance and scalability requirements with Intel® Xeon® processors and cloud software that Joyent developed over years of running a public cloud. Company executives say that moving from the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series to the 5600 series helped Joyent effectively double its capacity and revenues, and that Joyent’s ability to support 400 virtual machines on a server is the envy of its competitors.


“Density equals revenue for us,” says Jason Hoffman, Joyent’s co-founder and chief scientist. “By increasing our core density and memory density, we can put more tenants on a server, which means higher revenues.

Expedient Communications has added infrastructure as a service (IaaS) private cloud computing to its managed services portfolio, choosing the Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series as a foundation for scalable, secure, and efficient cloud services. Upgrading from servers based on the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series, Expedient’s IT leaders say they gained a 100 percent increase in compute capacity and density. They also cut their watts consumed per GB of memory, a key indicator for energy efficiency in the cloud, by almost 50 percent.


“When we moved from the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series to the 5600 series, we essentially doubled our compute load and density per pod,” explained Alex Rodriguez, vice president of systems engineering and product development for Expedient Communications.  “When we bring in a pod based on the Intel Xeon processor E5 family, we expect to see a 130 percent increase.”
