The x86 data center revolution has been a tale of industry standard upward mobility pressuring and displacing traditional systems. In essence, continually evolving x86-based systems and complementary technologies — particularly virtualization, memory and I/O — have provided hardware vendors the means to develop systems capable of challenging and beating traditional enterprise server platforms. Intel’s latest fabrication technology, codenamed “Ivy Bridge,” may seem like just another chapter in this ongoing story, but it may actually signal an entirely new stage of industry-standard computing.
