At A Glance

Energy Efficient Performance

Higher performance and capability along with lower energy consumption, reducing costs and improving density with new servers featuring sub 100W* Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processors.

  • Delivering up to 2x the performance of yesterday's single-core servers
  • Best-in-class performance for general purpose, web and java application servers
  • Optimized for rack and blade form factors, new 95W dual-core processors boost power efficiency by up to 70%, ideal for increasing data center performance density*
  • Do more with every system by leveraging server virtualization, now hardware-assisted with Intel® Virtualization Technology.

Best Platform for Virtualization

Improve performance, reduce costs and boost system utilization using new Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor-based servers featuring Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT), the best overall solution for server virtualization.

  • Broadest virtualization and OS support today, plus the ability to run both 64- and 32-bit applications on the same server, gives IT ultimate flexibility to adapt to changing business needs.
  • More headroom for virtualization with up to 35% more performance (than previous Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor-based servers)*
  • Unique server performance innovations deliver as much as 4x memory capacity* (Fully-Buffered DIMM)
  • Advanced platform capability reduces CPU overhead by up to 40%, boosting application response* (Intel I/O Acceleration Technology)
  • Confidently consolidate more applications on proven Intel-based servers featuring best-in-class reliability features

Reliable Uptime

Intel® Xeon® processor-based systems are built with more server reliability and advanced performance features than competitive offerings, giving IT the headroom, reliability and compatibility you need to keep pace with business.

  • Best-in-class reliability features, backed by the proven track record of the most widely deployed servers in the world.
  • Proactively protect data and improve security through advanced redundancy and error checking features (Memory mirroring and sparing, FBD)
