IT Best Practices: Episode 84 – The enterprise today is awash in a variety of compute devices with diverse capabilities. The days of IT delivering a one-size-fits-all, desktop-only computer to every worker are long gone. For a very large, ["See the full post…]

IT Best Practices: Intel IT’s SIEM architecture is based on three layers: common logging service, correlation layer, and predictive analytics. This security BI architecture consumes almost 4 billion events per day to deliver near real-time trends and reporting. See also: SIEM – Intel IT’s Security Business Intelligence Architecture – Video

IT Best Practices: Intel’s silicon design engineers need significant increases in computing capacity to deliver each new generation of silicon chips. To meet those requirements, Intel IT conducts ongoing performance tests, using the latest Intel silicon design data, to analyze the benefits of introducing compute servers based on new, more powerful processors into our electronic [...]

IT Best Practices: In Intel IT tests simulating the daily workflow of a silicon design engineer, a workstation based on the new Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v3 product family completed multiple, concurrent electronic design automation (EDA) application workloads up to 7.9x faster than a workstation based on Intel Xeon processor 5400 series and up to [...]

IT Best Practices: Intel IT recently evaluated Apache Hadoop software for ETL (extract, transform, and load) functions. We first studied industry sources to learn the advantages and disadvantages of using Hadoop for big data ETL functions. We then tested what we learned with a real business use case that involved analyzing system logs as [...]

IT Best Practices: Episode 83 – Cyber security in the enterprise has evolved because the threat landscape has changed so dramatically. That’s certainly true at Intel. Tony Saint, is Intel IT’s Cyber Security Operations Manager. Like all security specialists in the enterprise today, is faced with some staggering numbers. In this podcast, Saint talks about [...]

IT Best Practices: Intel IT and the Corporate Marketing Group, working together as a project team, are embarking on a big data analytics program that will help Intel focus more resources on successful media campaigns. Central to this program is the implementation of an analytics platform that provides a detailed, integrated view within and across [...]

IT Best Practices: Silicon design is one of the most critical business functions at Intel, and it requires significant computing resources. Larger and more compute-intensive design jobs require four-socket servers, which offer greater processing power and memory capacity to help ensure that these long-running jobs are completed to meet critical design timelines. Accordingly, large-memory four-socket [...]

IT Best Practices: In the fall of 2012 Intel began exploring the potential benefits of data center infrastructure management (DCIM) solutions in Intel data centers. DCIM may potentially help us achieve cost savings through remote management of critical data center infrastructure and increased operational efficiency. We conducted a DCIM proof of concept (PoC) that explored existing [...]
