Intel showcased technologies that will deliver a more
secure, energy efficient cloud that can be deployed faster than ever before.
Cloud computing is powered by data centres, and the vast
majority of these data centres are powered by Intel Xeon processors. In
essence, the cloud runs on Intel Xeon Processors.
The environment is ripe for companies to deploy cloud
computing initiatives. By 2015, more than 2.5 billion people with more than 15
billion devices will access the Internet – more than twice today’s demand. That
same year, Internet traffic is expected to reach a zettabyte – or one million
million billion bytes.
Intel provides the technologies required
to build the foundation for cloud through innovations related to
simplification, virtualization, security, open standards and others – all
integrated into Intel Xeon processors.
From Vision to Reality: Intel has a multi-year vision for
cloud computing called Cloud 2015. In this vision, cloud data centres should be
seamlessly and securely connected or federated, should be fully automated –
provisioning resources with little or no human interaction – and clouds should
be client-aware, providing secure access and optimal experience across a range
of devices from smartphones to powerful notebooks. To truly realize the promise
of cloud computing, Intel believes that open, interoperable solutions that
embrace standards are essential.
Seventy percent of CIOs have cloud security top of mind
and security continues to be a significant obstacle to widespread cloud
adoption. Intel Trusted Execution Technology enhances security at the processor
level by helping to ensure that a server has not been tampered with at the
hypervisor level or below. This hardware integrity checking is a critical
component of securely on-boarding workloads between clouds.
With cloud computing pushing more data outside of
traditional physical boundaries, encryption is becoming even more vital to data
protection. Microprocessor instructions included in Intel Xeon processor-based
servers called Intel AES New Instructions dramatically reduce encryption
overhead, which makes pervasive encryption possible for all of IT’s
business-critical data and ultimately helps secure the enterprise.
Power and cooling costs in data centers have risen
sharply over the past several years. To enable data centre managers to better
utilize rack power and better control server performance and power consumption
to optimize server density, Intel has developed the Intel Intelligent Power
Node Manager. Used with operating system tools, Intel Intelligent Power Node
Manager allows data center managers to set a power budget for a server,
enabling denser deployments.
