  Innovations
for the Future of Data Center Computing
Barrie Williams, Regional Director of Intel
Solution Services ANZ.
Intel
IT faces significant challenges in managing
data center cost
and efficiency. Servers have proliferated
but are often underutilized,
leading to higher capital, support, maintenance,
and power & cooling
costs. The Data Center Infrastructure is
evolving and about to change
forever. Key technology innovations in Multi-Core,
Virtualization,
Energy Efficiency, Scalable Performance
and Data Center designs are
creating on a new generation of computing
dynamics. As this generation
emerges, traditional paradigms will evolve
or disappear altogether. In
this session, Intel will discuss new silicon
innovations and platform
technologies that will become mainstream
in the next several years.
Intel is at the forefront of computing and
along with the hardware,
software and ecosystem partners, Intel is
driving a Data Center vision
that meets the needs of IT.

Force10 Networks, VP Sales – Sth Asia/ANZ
Force10
Networks
Consolidation of data center resources
offers an opportunity for architectural
transformation based on the use of scalable,
high density, high availability technology
solutions, such as high port-density 10
GbE switch/routers, cluster and grid computing,
blade or rack servers, and network attached
storage. Consolidation also opens doors
for virtualization of applications, servers,
storage, and networks. This suite of highly
complementary technologies has now matured
to the point where mainstream adoption in
large data centers has been occurring for
some time.
