According to Forbes, Intel launched its Xeon server chips on Thursday in a bid to boost up computing performances. At an even in San Francisco, Intel executives also mentioned of a built-in feature to help improve the cloud application cluster for computing jobs.
Intel is bringing together a newly established alliance with CoreOS and Mirantis that could make it flexible for firms to move computing jobs between rival cloud services, as well as the cloud and their own data centers. Intel senior vice president and head of the company's data center Diane Bryant said, "Any business is going to use multiple clouds. The concern is, 'please don't lock me in.' "
According to Investors, the chip maker company has gained immensely due to the numbers of servers acquired by other cloud services such as Amazon, Google, Facebook and Microsoft. Where the company is also trying to encourage small cloud providers to tackle in with the innovation, including many other firms that are trying to implement cloud-like technologies into their own data centers.
Intel's attempt to promote cloud computing focuses on two open source programs, such as OpenStack, a type of dashboard that manages resources in data centers, while the other is a software wrapper called Containers that works together for small programs.
In addition, Xeon includes a built-in feature that enables faster data encryption for security measures. The feature can also make the best use of built-in memory circuitry for major tasks.
The new Xeon chips will be assigned to new servers from companies such as Dell, HP and Cisco Systems.
