INTEL DEVELOPER FORUM, SAN FRANCISCO, 10. září 2013 – Společnost Intel dnes představila produktovou řadu procesorů Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2600 v2 (kódové označení „Ivy Bridge-EP”). Jde o sadu flexibilních procesorů, které mají vnést revoluci do oblasti serverů, úložných zařízení a síťové infrastruktury v datových centrech. Tyto procesory umožní rychlé poskytování služeb pro výkonově náročné výpočetní úkoly, cloudové aplikace a firemní segment. Zároveň přinesou zajímavé možnosti poskytovatelům telekomunikačních služeb.

Nová rodina procesorů Xeon je postavena na 22nm výrobním procesu, díky čemuž bylo dosaženo dramatické úspory energie, a to až čtyřicet pět procent1 oproti předchozí generaci. Procesory rovněž mají až 12 jader a nabízejí o padesát procent2 vyšší výkon napříč širokým spektrem úkolů.
Většina současné infrastruktury není navržena s ohledem na růst v oblasti IT služeb. Řízení datacenter je často manuální a statické. Pro umožnění automatizovaných služeb typu on-demand budou datacentra nové generace potřebovat „softwarově definovanou infrastrukturu”, kdy řada funkcí bude spravována na úrovni softwaru. Nové procesory Intel Xeon přinášejí společný, softwarově kompatibilní základ a disponují funkcemi a nástroji potřebnými pro transformaci datacenter pro budoucnost.

New, Powerful Engine for Agile, Efficient Datacenter
The Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v2 product family is Intel’s most versatile processing technology and can address many of the constraints datacenters face today. It allows the industry to innovate and build solutions for a wide variety of datacenter workloads to meet diverse customer needs.
The Intel Xeon processors E5-2600 v2 product family will power the new IBM* NeXtScale System, a high-density, flexible computing platform designed for high-demand workloads such as analytics, technical computing and cloud delivery. Intel’s newest processor family also will be used in IBM’s new x3650 M4 HD high-density storage server, ideal for managing big data and business-critical workloads, as well as all of IBM’s two-socket systems including System x racks and towers, Flex System, iDataPlex, and BladeCenter offerings.
Re-defining Networking, Storage
Data traffic generated by connected mobile devices and the associated services is expected to have a 66 percent3 compound annual growth rate over the next four years. This puts additional pressure on networking infrastructure to be more agile and efficient to allow for much faster provisioning of services.
Today, network configuration requires manual set-up by skilled IT staff and it may take up to two or three weeks to deploy required networking resources to support new applications and services. Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v2 product family accelerates efficient processing of network workloads commonly handled by expensive and proprietary offload engines and accelerators found in networking appliances.
Using Intel’s Open Network Platform (ONP) server reference design, customers can use high-volume Xeon-based servers combined with industry open standards to consolidate virtualized networking applications. This allows them to deliver market leading throughput performance and latency for Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) workloads. Intel’s ONP server reference design is based on the Wind River Open Virtualization Profile and the Intel Data Plane Development Kit Accelerated Open vSwitch.
HP* is an ecosystem partner for Intel’s ONP server and switch reference design. “Organizations are looking for more open, industry standard technology to support complex IT demands, whether they are cloud based-applications, support for virtualized environments or for replacing expensive appliances, such as firewalls, VPNs, and edge routers,” said Werner Schaefer, vice president of Market and Business Development, HP Servers. “These reference designs with innovative HP ProLiant Gen8 Servers and HP Networking solutions allow customers to consolidate networking workloads, reduce deployment costs and shorten provisioning time.”
Eighty-two percent4 of global telecommunications providers are expected to evaluate SDN and NFV this year to find the ways to reduce their costs and increase flexibility in dynamic resource provisioning.
To assist in accelerating the deployment of software defined infrastructures, Intel also announced Intel® Network Builders ecosystem. The program allows ecosystem partners to take advantage of Intel’s reference architecture platforms to accelerate SDN and NFV deployments. With more than 20 leading technology companies contributing, Intel’s partners will be able to access a comprehensive reference architecture library of proven solutions to build and optimize software-defined infrastructure based on today’s telecommunications, cloud, and enterprise datacenter requirements.
The Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v2 product family is also designed to power cost efficient scale-out, distributed, and software defined storage. From 2012 to 2020 the amount of stored data will double every two years5, reaching 40ZB. Fast, on-demand access to this amount of data for tasks such as big data analytics require more intelligent compute and storage intensive solutions, as well as a dramatic decrease in the cost-per-stored terabyte.
Dell* has selected the new processors for its upcoming storage solution. “The Intel Xeon processor E5 v2 family provides a great hardware base for Dell’s high performance, innovative solutions like our PowerEdge VRTX and intelligent tiered Compellent storage solutions,” said Forrest Norrod, vice president and general manager of Dell Server Solutions.
Amazon Web Services: Intel Inside® the Service
Intel Xeon processors are powering the majority of cloud datacenters today. Amazon Web Services* (AWS) announced a new agreement with Intel that communicates the “Intel Inside” brand, letting its customers know that the services it provides are utilizing Intel technologies. AWS services that exclusively use Intel Xeon processors – intended for basic to performance-intensive use cases — will include the brand.
AWS plans to add the latest Xeon processor family to its datacenters later this year and will place the recognizable “Intel Inside” logo on its site to further communicate the performance, quality, and security benefits available to its customers.
Extensive Industry Support
Starting today, system manufacturers from around the world are expected to announce hundreds of Intel® Xeon® processor E5 family-based platforms. These manufacturers include Acer*, Apple*, Asus*, Bull*, Cray* Cisco*, Dell*, Fujitsu*, HP*, Hitachi*, Huawei*, IBM*, Inspur*, Lenovo*, NEC*, Oracle*, Quanta*, SGI*, Sugon*, Supermicro*, TYAN*, Wiwynn* and Unisys*.
Pricing and Availability
The Xeon processor E5-2600 v2 product family will be offered with 18 different parts which range in price from $202 to $2,614 in quantities of 1,000. Additionally three single-socket Intel Xeon processor E5-1600 parts will be offered for workstations which range in price from $294 to $1080.
