Cloud computing lets companies to access computing power through a network instead of in-house data centers, while virtualization allows businesses to tap disparate computer systems on their premises or in hosted data centers as one network and tap into that computing capacity.
People are looking and scrutinizing the operations of processors and servers giants. This includes Intel and Advanced Micro Devices.
Intel has come up with a latest version of the Xeon processor that is both more secure and energy efficient. On the other hand, AMD has come up with a more powerful version of its Opteron server.
As you all know, the financial crisis is becoming obsolete, right now businesses are bucking up and ready to rock and roll. But the problem they have currently is that their systems are a little too old to function and to compete with the giant corporations out there.
Hence, the solution is of course to retrofit their systems and bring in new servers and processors.
Other than retrofitting their systems, a majority of the companies are looking into the long-term view. They are developing a strategy that will aid them in the long run and of course the systems they buy must complement their strategies.
Most of the companies are trying to cut down on the processors and energy consumed in order to construct a leaner system that will help lower the cost of production and naturally increase the amount of net profits made every year in order to be able to distribute more dividents to their shareholders, thus boosting their interest level.
So, the main point here is to hunt for systems that will be more energy efficient and at the same time, able to encapsulate all the data of the company in their own intranet systems, which should not be a problem at all for both Intel and AMD.
Storage spaces can easily be manipulated by them and it can be easily be increased by a few folds at one go.
The question then is to save as much energy as possible. We are now living in a green environment where we emphasised on corporate responsibility which is to say that we have to look out for the welfare of the people and environment around us.
By doing that, it is believed that money will naturally be a by-product of this process. People will trust the company and thus invest in it which in turn increase the cash flow of the company. That way, the company will be able to restructure more often and then it will be able to develope quicker and better.
All in all, Intel and AMD has managed to come out with more energy efficient systems just when the businesses out there are almost ready to change their systems.
Kudos to them and I wish them all the best and hopefully they will continue to innovate!
