Rugged design is a key requirement for many embedded applications, including industrial automation , mil/aero , and energy . The basic techniques for ruggedization – such as fanless design and minimized component counts – are well understood, but these techniques often conflict with other requirements such as high performance , flexibility , and short time-to-market . For example, it can be difficult to achieve high performance without using power-hungry parts that requir...Read More

Performance and power-efficiency are more important than ever for network infrastructure. Traffic is exploding and becoming more complex as video and web traffic increasingly dominate the network. Meanwhile, the increasing cloud connectivity of everything from enterprises source to consumer devices is creating a tempting target for hackers. At the same time, cost pressures are causing customers to make ever-greater demands on energy efficiency.   The Intel® Xeon® processors pro...Read More
