Intel IT Redefines the High Density Data Center
{"Image ImageDescription": "IT Best Practices: To accommodate the increasing demands that data center growth places on Intel\u2019s network, Intel IT is upgrading our data center network architecture to a combination of 10 GbE and 40 GbE connections. Existing 100 Mbps and 1 GbE connections no longer support Intel\u2019s growing business requirements. Our new 10/40 GbE data center fabric design will help to support current growth and accommodate increasing network demand in the future\u2014which we anticipate will eventually involve upgrading to a 100 GbE fabric.\n\nIntel IT is engaged in a verticalization strategy that optimizes data center resources to meet specific business requirements in different computing areas. While designing the new data center fabric, we tested several 10/40 GbE connection products and chose those that offered the best performance, reliability, and total cost of ownership.\n\nThe new data center fabric design provides many benefits:\n\u2022 Reduced data center complexity\n\u2022 Reduced total cost of ownership in a virtualized environment\n\u2022 Increased throughput\n\u2022 Increased agility Upgrading our network architecture to support speeds greater than 10 GbE is essential in optimizing our data center infrastructure to more quickly respond to business needs while enhancing the services and value IT brings to the business.", "Image Orientation": "Horizontal (normal)", "Image XResolution": "72", "Image YResolution": "72", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Image Software": "Adobe Photoshop CS6 (Macintosh)", "Image DateTime": "2014:09:03 18:58:11", "Image Artist": "Intel - Connected Social Media", "Image ExifOffset": "1540", "Thumbnail Compression": "JPEG (old-style)", "Thumbnail XResolution": "72", "Thumbnail YResolution": "72", "Thumbnail ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Thumbnail JPEGInterchangeFormat": "1678", "Thumbnail JPEGInterchangeFormatLength": "6400", "EXIF ColorSpace": "Uncalibrated", "EXIF ExifImageWidth": "600", "EXIF ExifImageLength": "338"}
