The Intel chips... Re-introducing myself, in case you didn’t feel like clicking on me to see what I look like, I am an ETS(Enterprise Technical Specialist) for Intel. What the rest of the world would call a Sales Engineer.&n... Unix migration to Xeon - Performance you need at a price you can't ignore

BackAlmost a year ago I posted an article about why the time is right for cloud computing. In that post, I spoke a lot about the changes that made the cloud an interesting option. I will stop here to define ... I think it was the mid 80's when McDonald's advertised the "McDLT" (I loved that music). The claim to fame for this 'burger' was the packaging. It was all about separation by temperature. The hot meat sepa... Is there any support for the Intel® RAID Controller RS2WC080 or RS2WC040 http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/e64400001_rs2wc080_tps_10.pdf for a type one hypervisor?

BackI have been on a theme as of late with posts related to legacy migration. The majority of the focus has been performance of Xeon vs legacy Sparc and Power, and stability/availability of today's Xeon solutions.&n... Finally! Out of Band Management! 'Real' ( read as Xeon) workstations have been the unsupported crossbreeds between servers and clients. For years servers have been managed using a "base management controller". ... Normally I post some "opinion" or "interesting reference". Consider this post an open request. Per my earlier posts on Sparc ( Sparc Arrest ) lots of folks are migrating off legacy Sparc to current X86.&... Pun intended. Sparc migration has been the "topic de jeur" or more accurately, if less cliche, the "topic de année", with many of my customers. I am a solution engineer covering the Northwest and Ca... The top500 is a highly watched list in the high performance computing community. My employer, Intel, is in no way immune to bragging about their success in this space. Recently I have heard many complain... I have been in this industry a long time. In that time there have been a lot of trends that were the “next big thing” and “going to change everything.” Some of them really did – l... I have watched the growth of Cloud-mania and although I do think it is part hype ala the lexicon de jeur, that doesn't mean it isn't a really big deal. Service based computing offers so many solutions to so many... This new crop of servers based on the Xeon 7500 processor are seriously game changing. Take everything that was good about the Xeon 5500 ( Nehalem ) processor last year and turn up the dial a few clicks. M... A: It depends. No, seriously, as much as it sounds like a copout, that is actually the correct answer. I still get asked this question several times a week. After a deep breath, I carefully say “it ... I am excited for 2010, and a bit misty about 2009 ending. Not to imply 2009 didn’t have issues, but it was a bang-up ( http://www.answers.com/topic/bang-up ) year for Intel’s server products and tech... These are dog years for servers. Pretty much every year Intel introduces a new Xeon processor. Those who have heard the story recognize this as the Tic Tock model. On Tic years the manufacturin... Even the name is a sort of a misnomer. Not that there isn’t a lot of physical security around most data centers. The doors are locked and not even regular employees have access. This is necessa... I wrote a few weeks ago about the end of the mini generation. This time I thought I would dig out some data to support my case. My personal anecdotal evidence is what I am hearing from my customers. ... I talk with a lot of customers. Since the initial disclosure, there has been a groundswell of EXcitement(bad geek pun) for the upcoming Nehalem EX launch. I think this is primarily driven by the realizatio... Sunsets can last a while, but in the end the sun will go down. I talk to a lot of companies and listen to a lot of data center managers. Customers trust their AIX-Power and Solaris-Sparc platforms. ...
