Intel India MD Prakash Mallya said the company’s Xeon Scalable processors will assist enterprises to undergo digital transformation faster.
“As India businesses increase its investment in technology, the country’s data centre and network infrastructure will undergo a massive transformation,” said Prakash Mallya, managing director, Sales and Marketing Group at Intel India.
“Emerging use cases in the financial, healthcare and academic sectors will necessitate agile networks that can interpret and implement decisions based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), High Performance Computing (HPC) and soon, 5G,” Prakash Mallya said.
Intel said Xeon Scalable processors will address the complex needs of the data centre, enabling customers deliver next-generation business and consumer experiences through unparalleled performance, security and agility.
Intel Xeon Scalable processors are uniquely architected for the evolving data centre and network infrastructure.
These processors are designed to support an expanding range of existing and emerging data centre and network workloads, including cloud computing, 5G-ready networks, HPC and AI, delivering 2.2 times the performance over its predecessor.
Intel India has already sold more than 500,000 Xeon Scalable processors, as part of its early shipping policy, to its several customers with the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and cloud service provider NxtGen being early adopters in India.
“We are collaborating with Intel to deploy the new Intel Xeon scalable family platform for enhanced performance and security, allowing us to run more workloads per server, resulting in cost optimization,” said AS Rajagopal, managing director at NxtGen Datacenter & Cloud Technologies.
Performance of Xeon Scalable processors
Artificial Intelligence: Delivers 2.2x higher deep learning training and inference compared to the previous generation, and 113x deep learning performance gains compared to a 3-year-old non-optimized server system when combined with software optimizations speeding delivery of AI-fueled services.
Networking: Delivers up to 2.5x increased IPSec forwarding rate for key networking applications compared to previous generation when using Intel QuickAssist and DPDK increasing the value derived from network transformation.
Virtualization: Operates up to an estimated 4.2x more virtual machines13 (VMs) versus a 4-year-old system for rapid service deployment, server utilization, lower energy costs and space efficiency spurring enterprise data center modernization.
High Performance Computing: Provides up to a 2x FLOPs/clock improvement with Intel AVX-512 as well as integrated Intel Omni-Path Architecture ports, delivering improved compute capability, I/O flexibility and memory bandwidth to accelerate discovery and innovation.
Storage: Processes up to 5x more IOPS while reducing latency by up to 70 percent versus out-of-the-box NVMe SSDs when combined with Intel Optane SSDs and Storage Performance Development Kit (SPDK).
“ProLiant Gen10 server portfolio features a firmware security mechanism, which enables detection of malware and creates a resilient industry-standard server infrastructure,” said Vikram K, senior director of Data Centre and Hybrid Cloud at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) India.
“The company’s new ThinkSystem and ThinkAgile brands will empower the customers with reliable, agile and best performing data centre solutions,” said Vivek Sharma, director of Data Center Group at Lenovo India.
“Data centers need to deliver a modern infrastructure that adapts and scales with business needs and ultimately enables faster IT transformation,” said Manish Gupta, senior director and general manager, Compute & Networking Group, Dell EMC India.
