Intel Xeon Processor D-1500

Intel Xeon Processor D-1500 Processor and NFV Client Devices (CPE)

The largest company producing chipsets introduced a family of processors the Intel Xeon Processor D-1500, optimized storage servers compact form factor and network solutions. Release of a new line of processors, the Intel is trying to meet the growing demand for cloud computing in networks of telecom operators.

The developer made the announcement in the online conference, which is also the operator Verizon, Cisco partner supplier invited.

Intel Xeon Processor D-1500

Intel Xeon Processor D-1500 - Intel has added to the announced in March, the two models of the family of Xeon-D 8 new SoC. Now the chips have up to eight cores. Versions with 12 and 16 cores are planned for 2016. Performance Intel Xeon Processor D-1500 is three to six times higher than that of SoC, based on Atom, and allows you to use network functions virtualization on client devices (Customer Premise Equipment, CPE) service providers.

This series of processors gives high performance equipment, but not necessarily a large form factor. We took Intel Xeon Processor D-1500 integrated into it February 10-gigabit-the Ethernet controller and combined everything into a single device, which is not demanding in terms of energy consumption. As a result, we have the perfect solution for applications that run on the equipment of a small form factor, such as border routers, switches, firewalls and IoT devices (Internet of Things, approx. Ed.).

These units will support the same technologies that are used for virtualization resources in cloud environments. Now we "transfer" the technology and adaptable for use in the NFV peripherals.

Hang (female, Ed..) Added: "Since these SoCs Xeon family, they inherited the valuable qualities of Xeon in terms of work, performance and reliability. Moreover, these devices support virtualization technology Intel".
