Combining Virtual Iron's advanced virtualization solutions with platforms featuring the Dual-Core and Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor enables users to reap the benefits of enterprise-class server consolidation with a highly scalable and reliable solution. As the world's first quad-core processor for industry standard servers, the Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series is built to enable both superior multitasking performance and superior performance-per-watt. At the heart of Intel's newest addition to the widely-deployed Xeon processor line is the revolutionary new Intel Core Microarchitecture. Since its introduction in June 2006, Intel Core Microarchitecture has brought newfound performance and groundbreaking efficiency to Intel server, desktop, and mobile processors.

Given the ability of Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors to integrate seamlessly with existing platforms and legacy software, Virtual Iron users gain an unprecedented ability to scale their solutions to meet diverse virtualization needs. Virtual Iron's commitment is to continue to capitalize on new Intel performance features and functionality as they are developed. Virtual Iron's enterprise-class virtualization software–in conjunction with hardware-assisted Intel Virtualization Technology and performance headroom available on new Quad-Core and existing Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors–extends the power of virtualization, giving IT organizations the capability to isolate applications, optimize resource utilization, increase uptime and improve manageability. While Intel provides the enabling chip technology to partition servers to run multiple operating systems concurrently, Virtual Iron provides the hypervisor, virtualization services and management layer that enable the pooling and sharing of server, storage and network resources.

The combination of Intel Virtualization Technology, Intel Quad-Core processors and Virtual Iron's virtual infrastructure management capabilities provides IT organizations with a best-in-class virtualization solution.
