Give your business a competitive advantage with new PCs that can help reduce operating costs, increase user productivity, and enhance network security. On average, a four-year-old PC can cost 59% more to support than it did in its first year.

By upgrading your older PCs you can avoid the escalating costs of software and hardware support. You’ll also avoid the increased downtime and reduced end-user productivity that frequently come with older PCs.

Intel®Core™2 processors with vPro™technology and Windows 7 Enterprise deliver the best foundation for an optimised desktop environment with greater multitasking performance, built–in manageability, and greater security to increase employee productivity while streamlining IT costs.

When you add it all up, new PCs can help you lower your total cost of ownership while increasing your productivity. And that helps you maintain a competitive edge in challenging times.

Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 Series

Intelligent server performance - Total IT control. The Intel Xeon processor 5500 series is the world’s most adaptable server architecture. That means it can adjust to your workload, enabling performance that can scale to whatever your application needs are. But that also means that it’s open to customisation, so you can still exercise complete IT control. You get automated intelligence when you want it while still maintaining unprecedented manual access.

Reconfgure your workload and save big - The Intel Xeon processor 5500 series automatically puts itself into a low-power standby state, so you can keep your energy costs nice and low during those low-use periods. And when it’s time for your servers to get back to work, they’ll come online again quickly. The result? Servers based on the new Intel Xeon processor 5500 series deliver up to 9x better performance per server over single-core servers enabling a 9:1 consolidation ratio that can reduce operating costs by up to 90%, and result in an estimated 8-month return on investment.

A smarter way to decrease energy use - Don’t you wish your servers knew when to reduce their power consumption? With Intel Microarchitecture, codenamed Nehalem, featuring Intel® Intelligent Power Technology, they’ll do just that. Individual cores will automatically step down to near zero power independent of other operating cores, reducing idle power consumption. And they’ll automatically put processor and memory into the lowest available power states to meet the current workload while still delivering the performance you need.
The result? Up to a 2.25x increase in performance over quadcore servers while reducing platform idle power by up to 50%.

Built for today's virtualisation - You’ve got servers from multiple generations. You need to combine them into the same virtualized server pool to extend failover, load balancing, and disaster recovery capability. No problem. Intel® Next-Generation Virtualization Technology enables best-in-class virtualization performance, superb scalability, enhanced fexibility, and simplifed server management. And by basing your server consolidation projects on the new Intel Xeon processor 5500 series, you can achieve a 9:1 server consolidation ratio, reduce operating cost by up to 90%, and achieve an estimated 8-month return on investment.
