Cisco and Intel optimize data center performance.

The platform UCS (Unified Computing System) combined with Intel Xeon processors arrive E7 for maximum performance for the most demanding companies. Cisco built on its platform UCS's new Xeon processors E7 to address the ability of IT departments for processing business critical applications at the same time optimize the management to reduce power consumption.

In the words of Jorge Cordova, director of Intel channel Iberia: As yaadelantábamos in HardZone, the Xeon E7 are based on the 32nm manufacturing process improvements by providing up to 40% compared to the inner generation, in addition to optimizing virtualization to 25 % and reduce operating costs by up to 95%.

These improvements are even more relevant in the case of Cisco, in a production environment, UCS servers equipped with Intel Xeon processors have been optimized E7 70% processing of applications in virtual environments, while improving energy consumption by 25% and Database transactions are accelerated by 40%.

Responding to the complexity. According to Andrew Alfonso, director of Cisco's Channel Spain: data from the IDC about 80% of business technology budget goes to maintain complex data centers and unconnected, to reverse this trend, Cisco and its partners had almost two years a totally innovative: scattered component interconnect resulting in unified structures, which according to Alfonso de Andrés: Energy efficiency.

As we discussed, one of the great qualities of the Xeon E7 is its energy efficiency thanks to Intel Intelligent Power technology, which dynamically reduces the consumption of inactive areas of the chip, the Xeon E7 offer performance per watt of up to 25% higher, which in the words of Jorge Córdoba: World Records and partner ecosystem.

During the day that Intel announced the Xeon E7, Cisco won nine world records processing business applications with the E7, the records were obtained with UCS models two and four bases, among which the new team in two-socket rack UCS C260 M2, ideal for resource-intensive applications, which supports up to 10 processing cores per socket and 1 TB of dedicated memory through Cisco technology Extended Memory.

Since its launch in July 2009, Cisco UCS has achieved more than 40 world records for performance and adds more than 4,000 customers globally, 500 of them in Europe. Similarly, more than 345 channel partners worldwide are certified to market the UCS servers.
