At Intel IT, we’ve changed our IT investment decision making process to a customer-focused, data-driven model that demonstrates IT’s impact to the bottom line. Our IT business value (ITBV) program provides a framework for measuring and evaluating IT products, services, and support in terms that reflect business benefits.
In Intel IT tests, a four-socket server based on the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 7300 series demonstrated scalable, predictable performance
with up to 32 consolidated server workloads in virtual machines (VMs).
Intel IT tested servers based on select Intel multi-core processors to analyze the potential role of each in our data center server
virtualization strategy. Each server provided significant potential benefits in performance, power consumption per workload, and operating costs over older
servers running non-virtualized workloads.
