Intel’s Jason Waxman on Sandy Bridge, Atom and our new Intel-based Microserver

March 24, 2011

World Hosting Days is going on right now outside of Frankfurt and our group is using this event to debut our new PowerEdge C microservers.  These new microservers, which come in both Intel and AMD flavors, are right-sized for dedicated hosting applications and provide extreme density and efficiency.

Yesterday, we got a shout out during AMD’s session and today Jason Waxman of Intel had kind words for our PowerEdge C5220 microserver during his talk.  Jason is Intel’s General Manager, High Density Computing, Data Center Group and this morning he delivered the session, “Driving efficiency, security and simplicity across next generation cloud data centers.”

In the short segment above from Jason’s talk, he spends the first couple of minutes on Intel’s power efficient processors such as the Sandy Bridge Xeon and Atom chips.  At the 2:20 mark he switches gears and talks about our new PowerEdge C5220 and how it has been designed with hosters in mind.

After he got through speaking, Jason stopped by the Dell booth and did a quick video talking specifically about the PowerEdge C5220 and what he really likes about it.

This week, outside of Frankfurt, WorldHostingDays is taking place.  A whole delegation of folks from the Data Center Solutions group is there to support the announcement of our new microserver line.   A lot of our key partners are there as well.  One such partner is AMD.

Earlier today, AMD director of product marketing John Fruehe held a session entitled “Core Scalability in a cloud environment.”  Above is a three minute section where John talks about the three AMD-based systems that are part of the PowerEdge C line:

  • The PowerEdge C5125 microserver which we announced yesterday
  • The PowerEdge C6105 optimized for performance per watt per dollar.
  • The PowerEdge C6145 our HPC monster machine

Take a listen as John walks you through the products and their use cases.
