Intel Launches Xeon Processor E5-2600 v4 Family
Intel Announces New SSD Family Including First 3D NAND SSD

Intel, which dominates the server and storage processor market, is eyeing the network market.

It is not 'unfounded confidence.' With the cloud market expanding rapidly, they intend to expand their market share through their processor strategy and collaboration ecosystem.

Reflecting this determination, Intel released the upgraded Xeon E5-2600 v4 processor family after a year. The Xeon processor series, which provides the foundation for software-defined cloud, embodies Intel's ambition to capture the domestic market for the latest systems based on the new processors, as well as major global and domestic server manufacturers. Among the Xeon processor series, the E5 family is the best-selling product in the server platform market, and there are the E3 family, which is primarily focused on low-performance, cost-effective applications, and the E7 family, which is used for high-capacity products.

On the 6th, Intel announced at a product presentation that it would introduce various new technologies, investment plans, and industry collaborations for cloud services with superior speed and scalability, and support enterprise customers in more easily deploying the cloud to rapidly launch new services and drive revenue growth.

The Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 processor family is developed using 14nm process technology and provides key components for SDI, including Intel Resource Director Technology. Intel Resource Director Technology enables customers to migrate to a fully automated SDI-based cloud based on excellent visualization for seamless control and monitoring of key shared resources, such as processor cache and main memory.

Intel Korea Executive Director Kim Doo-soo emphasized that this enables more intelligent orchestration, enhanced resource utilization, and improved service levels.


Executive Director Kim explained that the new product family provides enhanced performance for the cloud with over 20% more cores and cache compared to the previous generation, supports faster memory speeds, and includes other integrated technologies for a wide range of server, network, and storage workloads. In addition, enhanced security features such as workload isolation, security policy enforcement, and fast encryption have been added, enabling more efficient data protection.

Meanwhile, Intel also announced a new SSD product family designed for fast and stable data access. The new product family is optimized for the Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 processor family, as well as for enterprise storage and cloud deployments. The Intel SSD DC P3320 and P3520 series are Intel's first SSD products equipped with 3D NAND, designed to provide customers with high-efficiency, high-capacity storage solutions. The DC P3320 series delivers up to five times the performance improvement compared to SATA-based SSDs.

The new Intel SSD DC D3700 and D3600 series are Intel's first dual-port PCIe SSD products utilizing the NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) standard. The dual-port design provides key features such as redundancy and failover, preventing the risk of data loss in mission-critical storage deployments. Systems equipped with the D3700 can achieve up to six times the performance improvement compared to current dual-port SAS solutions.
