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.
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.
