5th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors in DataON Integrated
Systems for Azure Stack HCI Increase Performance, Security, and
Scalability for Microsoft Azure Hybrid Workloads.
ANAHEIM,
Calif., July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
DataON, an industry-leading provider of Microsoft hybrid cloud
solutions with cloud-based Azure services, and Intel Platinum
Partner, is proud to announce it is deploying 5th Gen Intel® Xeon®
Scalable processors in its Integrated Systems and validated nodes
for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI.
Intel technologies have always been an
important part of DataON solutions for Azure Stack HCI. The 5th Gen
Intel Xeon Scalable processors, with its advanced performance,
security, and AI capabilities will help customers accelerate their
digital transformation with Azure's adaptive cloud approach.
5th Gen Intel Xeon processors offer significant benefits when
paired with DataON Integrated Systems and validated nodes for Azure
Stack HCI. With their improved compute and AI performance, enhanced
security, and increased scalability, these processors can help
organizations unlock the full potential of their hybrid cloud
workloads.
Intel 5th Gen Xeon processors' built-in accelerators enable
organizations to offload tasks from CPU cores, reducing the number
of cores needed per workload and allowing for the ability to run
more VMs and applications like Azure Virtual Desktop for Azure
Stack HCI, Azure Kubernetes Services enabled by Azure Arc, SQL
Server, and more on your Azure Stack HCI deployments. 5th Gen Intel
Xeon processors also excel in various AI use cases, including
generative AI, recommender systems, and natural language processing
(NLP), with its built-in AI accelerators.
New memory and I/O technologies featured in 5th Gen Intel Xeon
processors, include support for DDR5, PCIe 5.0 and Compute Xpress
Link (CXL):
- DDR5 – Improves compute performance by overcoming data
bottlenecks with high memory bandwidth. It offers up to 1.7x
bandwidth improvement over DDR4, enabling better performance,
capacity, power efficiency, and cost savings. It also supports DDR5
memory speeds up to 5,600 MT/s (1
DPC) or 4,400 MT/s (2 DPC), enhancing
performance for memory-bound and latency-sensitive workloads.
- PCIe 5.0 – Doubles the I/O bandwidth compared to PCIe 4.0. 5th
Gen Intel Xeon processors provide 80 lanes of PCIe 5.0, ideal for
fast networking, high-bandwidth accelerators, and high-performance
storage devices. It also maintains backward compatibility with PCIe
4.0 and offers foundational slots for CXL (Compute Express
Link).
- CXL Support – Enables a unified, coherent memory space between
different components and reduces compute latency in data centers,
helping to lower the total cost of ownership (TCO). It also runs
across the standard PCIe physical layer and supports both standard
PCIe devices and CXL devices on the same link.
"Intel technologies have always been an important part of DataON
solutions for Azure Stack HCI and Azure hybrid cloud workloads,"
said Howard Lo, Vice President,
Sales & Marketing at DataON. "The 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable
processors, with their advanced performance, security, and AI
capabilities will help customers accelerate their digital
transformation with Azure's adaptive cloud approach and its hybrid
cloud support."
"Intel is proud of its long-standing partnership with DataON,"
said Dorin Vanderjack, Vice
President & General Manager of US OEM & Strategic Account
Sales at Intel." DataON, Intel, and Microsoft have collaborated for
many years to develop robust end-to-end hybrid cloud solutions
based on Microsoft Azure Stack HCI. New 5th Gen Intel Xeon
processors provide trusted performance, security, and the ability
to accelerate demanding AI workloads."
Dean Paron, Director of Partner
Program management at Microsoft said, "Customers' IT and
business needs are always changing. This is why we introduced the
adaptive cloud approach, enabled by Microsoft Azure Arc, to unify
distributed infrastructure and simplify on-premises
deployments as well as hybrid management. Customers can take
advantage of Azure's AI-enhanced central operations, app, and data
model across heterogeneous environments, and further use
cloud-native technologies to drive innovation. Azure hybrid cloud
solutions from DataON, powered by 5th Gen Intel Xeon processors,
will help organizations run their workloads faster, more
efficiently and more securely."
DataON solutions for Azure hybrid cloud workloads, powered by
5th Gen Intel Xeon processors, are designed to accelerate
customers' hybrid cloud journey, combining DataON servers with
Azure Stack HCI and Azure hybrid cloud workloads for a turnkey
design, deployment, and integration experience with white glove
service and support.
