4. Key Message: Intel is working with the ecosystem to deliver leadership virtualization capabilities with Open Standards to enable agility and innovation across the Private and Public.In the pursuit of underlying technologies that enable agility, Intel continues to incorporate hardware hooks that remove overhead associated with virtualization. Intel ® Xeon ® E5-2600 v2 now integrates Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller virtualization. APICv uses advanced hardware support that eliminates most VM exits that contribute to performance overhead. In fact, when IO intensive applications are being virtualized, APICv support can reduce virtualization overhead by about 30%, taking CPU utilization associated with virtualization down from about 6.5% to a little over 4%.For a look at how virtualization plays a role in delivering real results, we can look to the Sears Holding Success Brief. As part of a multiyear Data Center modernization effort, Sear Holding’s IT Department now runs a private cloud with more than 6000 VMs based on a variety of Intel technologies, including E5-2600 product family, and open source XEN SW for virtualization. The CTO, Philip Shelley, claims that they were able to achieve up “up to 100 times faster performance plus massive compression in costs.” - Source: RISC Migration for Big Data and More; Sear Success Brief, Jan Rowell, Rev 0A 41413.

8. Data Center GraphicsData center graphics is the new market segment that we are targeting with the new Xeon E3.Video is fueling the traffic growth on the internet. From watching movies on Netflix, video conferencing on Skype, to watching product reviews at online shopping sites, more internet usages involve the use of video, and the technologies on media transcode and processing.To support the explosive growth of video users, service providers will require media transcode solutions that are high-dense, cost efficient, and can deliver high quality images. A data center graphics server based on the Intel Xeon processor E3-1200 v3 product family can support more HD transcodes concurrently per rack than some discrete graphics solutions. The platform delivers high image quality at faster transcoding speed and a lower total cost of ownership, enabling smoother transcoding for content on demand, live broadcasting, or video conferencing.MicroserversAs internet traffic grows, IT professionals are looking to control costs in the data center. No stone is being left unturned; hardware cost, real estate, energy efficiency are all targets.Microservers are an emerging form factor that are addressing these needs by sharing system resources and enabling highly dense designs with data center ready, low power CPUs, that provide right-sized processing for certain web tier scale out workloads.The Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1200 product family, again, demonstrates our commitment deliver optimized solutions in the data center.This generation introduces two low power solutions uniquely designed for microservers. Our new 25W CPU delivers up to 52% perf/watt advantage over the previous generation 45W CPU. We are also introducing our lowest power Xeon ever at 13W.These two CPUs, coupled with our 45W offering, deliver an ideal balance of density enabling and compute performance. WorkstationsWorkstations are built and tested for pros – it is not just about certification of SW – it is about optimized for performance.  To be honest 2 years ago I would allowed you to laugh at me if I suggested Intel had a processor based graphics solution that professional users would want to use – however each year we are getting better and this years solution offers up to 60% faster.  Sure standard benchmarks may suggest that discrete cards are still faster – but as Geoffrey Moore suggested in crossing the Chasm disruptive technologies have a way of changing the landscape – I think users engaged in final or detailed design will be amazingly surprised at what our HD Graphics P4600 can do.  More importantly it will free up budget for these users to place in other technologies like solid state drives which will not only impact the speed at which they design but also provide an extremely positive influence on their entire work day productivity.Small BusinessWe’ve learned from our market research team that many small business owners share common concerns and pain points that can be addressed by adding a server to their IT environments. They want to focus on their business, not their IT – but also want peace of mind knowing that their data is securely backed up and protected from external threats. As well, they want to boost productivity and drive growth. Given these needs, we believe that Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1200v3 product-family entry servers are the best choice for small businesses. They support growth with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology, and 18% more energy-efficient performance than the previous generation. They also protect small businesses with hardware-based security features like Intel® Data Protection Technology with AES-NI and Secure Key and Intel® Platform Protection Technology with OS Guard and BIOS Guard.Storage:Enhanced transcoding capability of processor graphics enables more IP cameras to be supported by one NVR (network video recorder) - allowing for a more scalable and flexible system. Six SATA 6 Gbps support over 2 from previous generation – reduced BOM and better SSD support using integrated SATA (previously customers had to use a 3rd party solution for additional SATA 6G ports)Comms & Intelligent Systems:AVX2.0 builds upon the AVX1.0 capabilities added to the 2nd Generation. Enhanced integer processing and new Fused Multiply Add (FMA) instructions help accelerate applications like signal and image processingECC memory protection provides data integrity for applications ranging from networking and wireless infrastructure to factory automation and Mil/AeroAdvanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (AES-NI) accelerate encryption/decryption of data in-flight to help provide security to the Internet of ThingsAvailable in TDP ranges from 95W, for high performance systems to 45W for small form factor/embedded platforms
9. 3 primary sets of usages for graphics on a data center server – media, cloud gaming and desktop virtualization.Media is largely made up of video delivery and video analytics. Video delivery refers to streaming media in the cloud to end users. e.g. Netflix and Hulu. This can involves a lot of processing on the video contents before it is finally delivered at the end user. Video analytics involves performing research or analytical work on the media. e.g. looking for a face or a license plate in the raw footage captured by city-wide close circuit cameras Cloud gaming and desktop virtualization are very similar to each other. They involve both hosting and rendering desktops (or games) on a server, and streaming the images or apps to clients connected remotely in the form of an interactive video. Desktop virtualization is sometimes known as VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) or VHD (Virtually Hosted Desktop).While cloud gaming and desktop virtualization may sound very different to media, all 3 sets of usages can take advantage of the hardware accelerated media encode feature on the new Xeon E3. For the rest of this presentation, we will focus on media.
10. 2 years ago when we introduced Intel HD Graphics P3000 I would have agreed with many pundits – nice try but it is only good for trivial designs. The P4000 was tremendous step in the right direction and ISV’s began to take notice – in fact some of their resellers began to tell their customers (real users) to take a look at Intel’s workstation graphics solutions it can actually do a very nice job. The P4600/P4700 delivers nearly 3X more performance and if you look at actual workloads employed by users – I think we have moved passed good enough – sort of like crossing Geoffrey Moore's chasm. So where does Intel HD Graphics best meet users needs – If you spend most of your time in the upper right then we have an ideal solution for you – Intel Xeon E3 processors w Intel HD graphics P4600 can do just about everything you need.If you are an extreme user a guy doing really complex nonlinear editing of red camera type input – we I think you need not only need a better graphics engine you really need a dual socket workstation with lots of memory SSD and a high end graphics card. Otherwise I think we really have a great solution for you.

12. Key Message: And to make sure that your applications are not constrained by IO bandwidth, Intel® Integrated IO based on PCI Express 3.0 delivers up to 2x the IO bandwidth improvement over PCIe 2.0, and up to 30% latency reduction through the integration of 40 lanes PCI Express* 3.0 per CPU. For specialized segments like HPC and Storage, We have added support for more features defined by the PCIe 3.0 specification, such as Atomic operations, x16 non-transparent bridging, and enhanced P2P support.And, When combined with our Intel ® Ethernet X540 Server 10GbE adapter, you can realize up to 3x the IO bandwidth vs. previous generation solutions.Lastly, given that PCI Express 3.0 is an industry open standard, there is now a robust ecosystem of IHVs providing networking and storage products which are supported by E5-2600 v2.
13. Key Message: To keep up with the growth of data and desire for quick access to it, IT shops are turning to scale out intelligent storage powered by Intel Xeon processors as their most economical solution.There is no question, the volume of data being driven by a variety of sources is growing dramatically, and so is the desire to access this data with speed and accuracy. In the face of these challenges, the traditional storage architecture of a centralized, remote storage is being replaced by converged storage (or Intelligent Storage), with scale-out NAS deployments emerging as the best solution for unstructured data growth in general. Storage systems that use the compute capabilities of Intel® Xeon ® E5-2600v2 are able to offer more effective and efficient storage solutions, and have the power to support advanced techniques like Thin-provisioning and Data De-Duplication, which lowers the overall $/TB of storage. Intel’s own IT group found significant savings possible from refreshing storage with new storage solutions that use the latest generation Xeon processors. Doing so reduced the storage footprint by more than 50% in 2011 and Xeon-enabled thin provisioning storage techniques cut the need for storage growth by one-quarter in first year. And data de-duplication usage reduced office & enterprise storage footprint from 3.2PB to 1.9PB.
