In 2010 Intel provided the broadest refresh to it’s data center products ever, offering improved performance, energy efficiency and security for all types of data centers from small business, to growing cloud service providers and into the largest mission critical workloads. In 2011 we will build on those products by offering additional performance in security in our Xeon 5600 product line, efficient unified networking with the Intel® 10 Gigabit X520 10GbE Dual Port card, and the start of our transition to the next generation Intel microarchitecture codenamed Sandy Bridge, with the E3-1200 product family. Today we’d like to focus on the transformation of mission critical computing on Xeon.

4. Industry Analysts: Mission Critical is Migrating to Intel® Xeon® Vertical markets once dominated by UNIX-centric vendors - telcos and financial services are good examples—increasingly consist of enthusiastic x86 shops. Charles King, Pund-IT, Inc. March 30, 2010 …there will be continued consolidation and contraction in the Unix server market, while the x86-based market will continue to grow… driven by factors that include drives to reduce hardware and software costs; to simplify management of workloads; to optimize performance; and to improve system flexibility, such as the ability to flexibly add capacity. IDC, White Paper Sponsored by Intel, "Following Downturn, Platform Migration Accelerates," Doc.#226744, Feb. 2011. Gartner Research The Unix market has been, and will continue to be, in decline during the rest of this decade, according to our projections. The price points are high, when compared to x86 systems, while the value proposition gap between Unix and x86 systems will continue to diminish.George Weiss’s June 2010 “Impact of the Next Generation x86 on the Server Market.” By bringing RAS features to the x86 architecture, Intel has laid the groundwork for customers to move away from RISC.
