The new generation data center has become the focus of the market. And it's an important step to the cloud computing field. It's the tendency to build the dynamic data center. But the data center faces the bottleneck of the performance, cost and extendibility on the memory and network. To break the memory bottleneck, an open and united saving network structure is necessary.
For the dynamic data center, the next generation memory needs the expandable integrated structure. And it can use the industrial standardized accessory to gain the low cost. Meanwhile, it can be unified into the ethernet and FCoE. And it can support the IP and fiber protocol to lower the network cost and complexity.
Traditionally, the server, saving and network are separated with each other. But with the increasing of application and data, the cloud computing is developing. The user needs a data center which can be regarded as a unified platform.
Nowadays, as more and more wholesale electronics manufacturers join in the cloud computing, the constantly improved technology and product can help the enterprise users to correct the traditional data center. From the private cloud to the public cloud, the memory and network platform play an important role. Through the technology innovation, it can realize the organic integration of the server, memory and network. It's meaningful to provide the support for the construction of the private and public cloud.
The management strategy of the new generation data center will unify the structure platforms. The working condition of the server, saving and network will be improved. The new generation data center integrated the structure. The interation is the infrastructure construction of the server, network and memory system. The systems can make the most of the advantages. To manage the new generation data center, we should fully consider all the elements and the relationship between the elements. Then it's accustomed to the requirement of the future cloud computing.
As the chip manufacturer, Intel plays an important role in the improving of the server performance. And it continues to be creative in the new data center. It invested a lot in the saving field in 2008. In 2009, Intel begins to integrate the server, saving and network service. The original server platform group was upgraded to the present data center group. Under the open and united data center structure, Intel furtherly intetegrates the server, chip, ethernet, FcoE and SSD. It gathers the power for the new data center.
