The nine new processors offer high performance, lower power consumption, and twice the memory of previous generations in an integrated System-on-a-Chip, making them ideal for multi-network, cloud storage, enterprise storage, and IoT applications operating in dense and robust environments. More than 50 designs for networking, cloud storage, enterprise storage, and IoT systems are already under development using the Intel Xeon Processor D-1500 product family.
The new Intel® Ethernet Multi-host Controller FM10000 Family combines proven Ethernet technology with advanced switching capabilities for use in high-performance communication networking applications and dense server platforms. With up to 200Gbps of multi-host bandwidth connectivity and multiple 100GbE ports, it delivers exceptional throughput and significantly reduces performance bottlenecks by moving network traffic between servers.
The new Intel® Ethernet Controller X550 Family is a low-power, cost-effective 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity solution that can deliver a performance boost for data center servers and network devices.
Intel is actively driving a networking ecosystem and has expanded the Intel® Network Builders program to more than 180 companies. In August 2015, Intel introduced the Intel® Network Builders Fast Track to accelerate innovation in the networking ecosystem by optimizing hardware and software solutions, supporting technology integration within the ecosystem, and driving interoperability.
Red Hat is the first ISV actively contributing to all areas of focus of the Intel Network Builders Fast Track. Red Hat brings its strong expertise in commercializing open source technologies and has a long-term partnership with Intel to deliver solutions to the telecommunications industry. Through this collaboration, the two companies will work together to offer carrier-level solutions based on Red Hat software and Intel technology, jointly developing development solutions for different uses in communications networks, and establishing interoperability tests of their platforms with solutions from other ecosystems.
