IT must prioritize modernization initiatives that can help shed the burdens of legacy infrastructure, boost operational efficiency, support emerging workloads, and maintain the security of the enterprise. To do this successfully requires a holistic approach that both innovates and modernizes hardware and software investments. The end-of-support for Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 has been an urgent call to action for many enterprises to plan their migration strategies and evaluate the state of their broader hardware infrastructure.

Eman Yarlagadda and Ken LeTourneau of the Intel Data Center Group’s Digital Transformation and Scale Solutions team stop by to talk about the varied opportunities for IT modernization that enterprises have as those end-of-support moments approach. They discuss some of the technical innovations and solutions Microsoft, Intel and their ecosystem partners offer to ease the transition.

Modernize IT Infrastructure with Microsoft Solutions – Intel® Chip Chat episode 619

Lisa Spelman, Vice President and General Manager Intel® Xeon® Products, Data Center Marketing at Intel Corporation, shares the origin of Intel’s data centric computing message as a customer-focused framework to tackle the today’s ultimate challenge and opportunity - data. Intel works with broad partner ecosystems to deliver hardware and software innovation in compute, storage and networking that supports the movement, storage and processing of every bit of data for better business outcomes.  

Cloudification of services and infrastructure is pervasive, which accelerates the utilization and creation of this data. Intel has invested over ten years in building the silicon foundation and software ecosystem for the cloud and cloud native architecture. That revolution has moved into the communication service provider market to support delivery of new services in a more cost-effective manner. Lisa talks about the convergence of 5G, cloud, edge and Internet of Things (IoT) that drives requirements for artificial intelligence, visual workloads and smart computing on the edge.
