Multi-Core Will Be at the Foundation of Everything We Do
Modern IT infrastructure: Multi-core processing will change the way we think, build, and manage IT infrastructures. Why? When you quadruple the capacity of today’s servers with multi-core processors, you can run new workloads. Typical 4-way servers will handle jobs that previously required midrange or high-end symmetric multi-processing systems. As a result, we will move complex business processes, databases, data mining, and inquiry and data intelligence applications onto industry-standard multi-core servers.

This is an excerpt from an interview with Vernon Turner, group vice president and general manager of enterprise computing for IDC (www.idc.com). He is responsible for worldwide research in the areas of servers, enterprise software, networks, and services. To see the complete interview, visit www.intel.com/software/insight/idc.

How significant is multi-core processing for the IT industry?

Multi-core processing will change the way we think, build, and manage IT infrastructures. Why? When you quadruple the capacity of today’s servers with multi-core processors, you can run new workloads. Typical 4-way servers will handle jobs that previously required midrange or high-end symmetric multi-processing systems. As a result, we will move complex business processes,
databases, data mining, and inquiry and data intelligence applications onto industry-standard multi-core servers.

What will happen to the number of servers in data centers and their configurations?

Multi-core processors will drive a change in the form factor of servers. They will increase compute density, which will, in turn, drive the need for increased systems management functionality to manage that explosion in capacity, which the software industry can capitalize on.

However, I don’t expect the adoption of multi-core to be a massive virtual server
consolidation exercise. I think multi-core processors bring an opportunity to compute in different ways than we’ve ever had before.
