Intel Chips To Power Servers For Cloud Computing

World’s largest chip maker Intel Corporation has developed microprocessors to power modular and scalable servers for cloud computing - that enables use of multiple servers as a single platform - by datacentres and infrastructure management service providers, a senior official said. “As part of our second generation multi-core Xeon processors, we have designed and developed chips that can be used for servers by cloud computing providers and builders to offer high performance and energy efficient solutions to end-customers with security, scalable storage capacity,” Intel marketing programme manager Nick Knupffer told reporters. As the next wave of technology revolution, cloud computing enables use of multiple servers as a single platform through a digital network under secured environment with access to a range of applications and tools for reducing the cost of IT operations. “Our Xeon processor-based servers can be deployed by datacentres and enterprises offering infrastructure management services to end-customers across verticals, especially small and medium businesses which cannot afford to invest in capital intensive IT infrastructure and hire personnel to run it,” Intel South Asia director R. Ravichandran said.
