Intel Purley

Standardizing on the type of server platform a reseller should provide to their clients involves far more than just a detailed analysis of the processor. Like any system, engineering a server requires an entire ecosystem of technologies and services that are combined together to create solutions that deliver the performance, reliability and security that customers need for these high level products.

For generations Intel has been delivering industry leading processor technologies combined with complete families of server boards, server building blocks, and complete turnkey server systems all designed, validated, supported, and warrantied by Intel.

Why Intel Servers – Advantages of Ecosystem Ownership

  • Intel provides the complete set of building block components from processor to full server…
    Intel not only designs and manufactures all their own processors, but they also design as well as manufacture the other key technologies which include the server chipset, server motherboard, and complete server turnkey solutions. Engineering these building blocks ensures the highest levels of quality and compatibility across the entire platform giving Intel servers higher platform functionality as well as industry leading performance.

  • Manageability and diagnostics across the entire platform…
    Manageability is a key consideration for servers, which is why Intel has engineered diagnostic capability in to their server boards and platforms. By including over 100 board level sensors which report errors to an event log, VARs can be alerted to a problem before it occurs as well as quickly diagnose an issue which ensures greater system stability and increases uptime.

  • Thousands of hours of application validation on all server options including processor, chipset, server board, and turn-key server…
    Certification with critical applications is essential. Intel invests thousands of hours validating their products on numerous applications including VMWare Virtual SAN, Microsoft Windows Server 2016, ONAPP Private Cloud, Openstack, Redhat and more to make sure their servers have the highest levels of compatibility.

  • 24×7 technical support, AWR and three year warranty…
    Intel offers the best warranty support in the business by not only providing 24×7 technical support, but also by including AWR (Advanced Warranty Replacement) for Intel Technology Partners as well as backing their server building blocks with a three year parts and labor warranty.
