Microservers Powered by Intel® Xeon® and Intel® Atom™ Processors

The right solutions for simple, scale-out workloads

Microservers are an emerging form factor of servers designed to process workloads for hyper-scale data centers. Because of its high density and energy-efficient design, the infrastructure (such as fan and power supply) of a microserver can be shared by tens or, potentially, hundreds of physical server nodes, eliminating the space and power consumption of duplicate infrastructure components.

Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1200 v2 product family for microservers

When you’re looking for a microserver with the best performance per watt, look no further than an efficient Intel Xeon processor E3-1200 v2 product family-based solution. Up to 39 percent1,2 more energy efficient than the previous generation, the Intel Xeon processor E3-1200 v2 product family lets you scale out your web services while scaling down your power consumption.

1. Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel® microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark* and MobileMark*, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations, and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products.
