The new Xeon RAS feature ensures the security of the next generation of data centers

Cloud computingIt is no longer a new concept and topic. It has gradually become a practical model for enterprises to use. However, in the development trend of enterprise IT, IT infrastructure is optimizedData CenterWithout changing the topic, data centers play an extremely important role in the future survival and development environment of enterprises.

It can be said that the effective optimization of the new generation of data centers is an important step towards cloud computing. For a long time, high energy consumption, high cost, and low efficiency are the most serious problems in traditional data centers, enterprises put forward higher requirements for reducing IT costs, forcing them to seek a new way to build a new generation of data center, and building a new generation of data center based on cloud computing technology, it not only provides complete support for broadband, storage, and computing capabilities, but also serves as a breakthrough in cloud computing.

WithX86Virtualization has gradually matured. For example, most data centers migrate a large number of applications to the virtualization platform, making server virtualization the key to data center security applications. It can be seen that in application virtualization, with the performance of the new generation Xeon x86 processorRASTo further expand the application scope of virtualization.

Because the reliability, availability, and maintainability of x86 servers are improved, the new generation of data centers are greatly improved in terms of server virtualization and reliability, specifically, Intel Xeon processor 7500 Series servers provide reliability, availability, and manageability of the same level of RAS as high-end FPGAs at a lower cost, so that servers can be effectively integrated in virtualization, it provides users with a new generation of data center application protection, making cloud computing a reality.

At the same time, IT vendors have drawn attention from products to solutions, including virtualization, Green IT, and SaaS, in promoting the next-generation data center technologies and strategies. However, cloud computing requires a centralized infrastructure of data and applications. Under this trend, database applications, as the core of the cloud, have higher requirements on the performance, reliability, and scalability of the hardware platform.

Xeon 7500 has the highest level of RAS features in the x86 system, comparable to the RAS features of minicomputers, and there is no difference in RAS compared to the smaller ones in the earlier version. At the same time, Xeon 7500 introduced three major components: data protection, increased availability, and minimized downtime. In total, it has over 20 RAS features, which were not available in previous x86 processors, the introduction of multiple RAS features makes Xeon 7500 more suitable for enterprise applications with high reliability requirements on the new generation of data centers.

In the next-generation data center, it is mainly oriented to integrated applications in the cloud computing field. Therefore, an outstanding virtualization integration platform is particularly important in terms of security and reliability. Xeon 7500 has powerful performance, scalability, and reliability, it is an ideal virtualization integration platform. It uses a new Xeon processor 7500 series of servers. while keeping the system performance unchanged, server integration can greatly reduce the number of servers in the enterprise data center, this greatly reduces enterprises' power costs and makes new-generation data the most energy-efficient system platform in cloud computing.

From this we can see that the new generation Xeon 7500 platform has the strongest scalability, performance and reliability on the x86 platform. At the same time, in terms of the performance required by the data center, Xeon 7500 has eight cores, supports HT hyper-threading technology, and is capable of porting RAS features from the anteng processor.

These features make Xeon 7500 the most suitable virtualization computing platform for data center applications with high throughput and high concurrency. Xeon 7500 is greatly enhanced in terms of RAS, which gives the high performance of Xeon 7500 a powerful RAS Foundation and brings advantages to the new generation of data centers, this advantage will also make IT unique in the IT infrastructure optimization process and become an indispensable feature for cloud computing.

In terms of virtualization, such as vSphere4, Server Hyper R2, and XenServer have all-round RAS functions of Xeon 7500, which undoubtedly lays a good foundation for deploying the Xeon 7500 Server virtualization platform, at the same time, the IT infrastructure is optimized to fully construct a new generation of data centers to ensure the security and reliability required by applications, further facilitate the smooth implementation of the new generation of data centers, and accelerate the "Cloud" construction.

At present, the new generation of data centers are supported by Intel Xeon series Processors in terms of RAS, and become the most reliable x86 Platform for users to build a new platform application.
