SIGMAnet and Intel Set to Deploy Versatile New Server Processors

ONTARIO, Calif., March 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SIGMAnet today announced that it is working with Intel to redefine the modern data center by deploying a flexible new line of server products. SIGMAnet will be among the first IT solution providers to offer the versatile new Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600/1600 product families, designed to meet the diverse and demanding needs of today's computing environments.

This new family of Intel server processors will enable SIGMAnet to derive greater value for its clients by deploying new solutions such as virtualization to reduce data center cost and complexity, and by employing automation to improve service, efficiency, and agility. Supported by a range of new single- and dual-socket server boards, chassis and other system products, the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600/1600 product families are ideal for a range of computing environments, from small and medium-size business to enterprise, storage, cloud computing and high-performance computing applications.

"Intel continually drives innovation and performance providing best in class processors to our OEM partners. And the new E5 family of processors is no different. We are excited and looking forward to introducing the E5 family of processors to our customers as we help them deploy next generation datacenters," said Hassan Kassih, Practice Director of Datacenter Solutions at SIGMAnet.

For even the most demanding environments, the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600/1600 product families deliver an optimum combination of performance, built-in capabilities, and cost-effectiveness. These processors are designed to meet evolving data center needs with up to 80 percent higher performance over earlier processor generations, as well as improved energy efficiency, offering more cores, more cache, and increased memory capacity.

The Intel Xeon processor E5-2600/1600 product families feature second-generation Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.05, which delivers more speed when it's needed for peak workloads. Another performance-enhancement feature, Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel® AVX), can double performance in applications employing floating point or vector computations. To keep processor cores most productive, Intel® Data Direct I/O Technology enables direct data transfers from storage to cache, instantly moving data to wherever it is needed and increasing I/O performance by up to 2.3 times.

The Intel Xeon processor E5-2600/1600 product families derive more performance value from every watt using an enhanced Intel® Intelligent Power Technology for optimum balance between performance and energy consumption. And, the Intel® Data Center Manager plugs into existing management frameworks so that IT staff can monitor and manage power and thermal status for individual or multiple servers.

To reinforce security, Intel based its new server processors on a solid foundation of encryption standards, trusted resources and standards-based protocols for protecting systems and sensitive data on shared infrastructure. To extend security across the network without significantly compromising performance, Intel® Advanced Encryption Standard – New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI) accelerates and strengthens encryption to protect all users and assets.

The Intel Xeon processor E5-2600/1600 product families employ Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT) to establish trusted pools of resources so that computing environments are better able to protect themselves from malware or other attacks at or before launch.
