Intel Releases New Products for Data Storage and Communications

Intel Corp. announced that it will begin issuing a new product that is the result of the refinement chip dual-processing Xeon Nehalem made ​​with special specifications for the purposes of computer communications and data storage with the ability to produce RAID and is integrated with PCI Express (PCIe). The processor is created and intended specifically for applications such as ultra-dense blades, IPTV, VoIP, Network-attached Storage (NAS) and storage area network (SAN). Actually, Intel released the Nehalem-based products Xeon microprocessor was the first time in the month of april 2009. The new processor has the code name "Jasper Forest" has the ability to configure the storage as a RAID 5 or 6 as well as protecting the failure and damage to the single and dual disk.



Processor that comes with some models of both single and quad core processors have the ability to bridging functionality that allows the connection of multiple systems via the PCIe link that is no longer required external PCIe switch.

Jasper Forest provides several options ranging from 23 watt single-core processors up to 85 watt quad-core processor using the same socket. Intel claims that the processor has enhanced features lower power consumption of about 27 watts when compared to the Intel Xeon 5500 series and has the performance per watt efficiency of the highest of the other intel processor.

Intel's new product is very powerful because it has a chip that can protect data from power failure with the ability Asynchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory Self-Refresh. This feature will automatically detect if the power failure and will instruct the memory controller to complete the process quickly and refresh memory before shutting down.

Even Jasper Forest chips will set all the storage management process such as data deduplication, data snap shots, storage virtualization and storage management others. All storage management systems with RAID asudah integrated in the CPU, because it's based on these products are very suitable for communication and data storage. Intel even dare to give this warranty up to 7 years.
