IT organizations around the world are driving higher value into their businesses by virtualizing their data centers to reduce costs and adding automation to improve service levels, effciency and agility. Intel Xeon processor-based servers provide the foundation for this innovation. They account for the majority of all servers in today's virtualized data centers and clouds, and they also power many of today's highest-performing workstations. The latest Intel Xeon processor product families take these advantages to new heights with up to 80 percent higher performance than the prior generation and even better energy effciency. Importantly, these processors also include advanced technologies to help the storage, networking, and security challenges arising in today's increasingly dynamic computing environments.
