Maximizing Benefits from Virtualization
Intel Xeon processor 5600 series can also help tame server sprawl
by providing up to 15:1 consolidation capacity.

Built on Intel Micro-
architecture Nehalem, the Intel Xeon processor 5600 series expands
the benefits of virtualization beyond consolidation with innovations
that can help boost performance, increase consolidation ratios, and
enable servers of different generations to be combined in the same
virtualized server pool, improving virtual machine failover, load balancing,
and disaster recovery capabilities. With more performance in the same
power envelope, you can use virtualization to deliver high-availability
solutions with the agility to address disaster recovery and real-time
workload balancing so your business can respond to the expected
and the unexpected.

Secure, flexible virtualization
As enterprises become borderless, security attacks rise – from DoS to
phishing to malware to data leakage. This keeps security challenges
foremost in the minds of IT staff. And with the mixed environment in
most data centers, servers are anything but secure. Intel Xeon proces-
sor 5600 series has two new security features that help you secure
your data by speeding up data encryption and protecting against
software attacks at launch.

Data encryption is not new, but new AES instructions from Intel
are. In the past, data encryption either required custom hardware,
such as security appliances and HDDs, or reduced CPU performance
to manage. But with Intel® AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
Technology, you get robust encryption without needing additional
appliances or increased performance overhead. In fact, AES-NI
improves CPU performance for encryption by as much as a
52 percent for secure Internet transactions,

Intel® Trusted Execution Technology
†
(Intel® TXT) addresses a critical
security need for all server deployments, especially virtualized and
cloud-based use models by helping protect your server prior to OS
launch or hypervisor launch. Intel TXT complements other malware
protections such as anti-virus and intrusion detection to help ensure
that only trusted software is on the platform. VMs on trusted platforms
are also protected, so you can easily migrate them onto other trusted
platforms or create pools of platforms with trusted hypervisors.
