Flexible virtualization that offers best-in-class performance and manageability in virtualized environments to
improve IT infrastructure and enable up to 15:1 consolidation over two socket, single-core servers. New
standard enterprise servers and workstations built with this new generation of Intel process technology offer
an unprecedented opportunity to dramatically advance the efficiency of IT infrastructure and provide
unmatched business capabilities.

2.2.6 Intel Xeon 7500 Series Processor
The Intel Xeon processor 7500 series supports up to eight integrated cores and 16 threads, and is available with
frequencies up to 2.66 GHz, and 24 MB of cache memory, four Intel QPI links and Intel Turbo boost technology.
Thermal design point (TDP) power levels range from 95 watt to 130 watts.
This new Intel processor is packed with more than 20 new features that deliver a leap forward in reliability,
availability and serviceability (RAS). These reliability capabilities are designed to improve the protection of data
integrity, increase availability and minimize planned downtime.
For example, this is the first Xeon processor to possess Machine Check Architecture (MCA) Recovery, a feature
that allows the silicon to work with the operating system and virtual machine manager to recover from otherwise
fatal system errors, a mechanism until now found only in Intel® Itanium® processor family and RISC processors.
2.2.7 Cisco UCS B200M2 Blade Server
The Cisco UCS B200M2 Blade Server is a half-width, two-socket blade server. Cisco UCS B200M2 blade server
uses two Intel Xeon 5600 Series Processors, with up to 96GB of DDR3 memory, two optional hot-swappable small
form factor (SFF) serial attached SCSI (SAS) disk drives, and a single mezzanine connector for up to 20 Gbps of
I/O throughput. The server balances simplicity, performance, and density for production-level virtualization and
other mainstream data center workloads.
